Midfielder and Academy graduate Tom Fitzgerald, who has made 66 club appearances since breaking into the first team, reflects on the season.
DK: How do you feel the season has gone from both a personal and team view point, did it meet your personal targets?
TF: From a personal point of view I think my season has been very up and down. I’ve struggled to get going at certain points and never really could get a good run of games. I still think I’ve improved as a player and have gained valuable experience. From the teams point of view it has also been very up and down. We had the brilliant cup run but besides that we could never get a strong run of results, which led to us finishing well below where we should be. It was however nice to end the season with a win in the Premier Cup.
DK: How much did it mean to you to have won the Suffolk Premier Cup?
TF: Winning the Premier Cup again was brilliant. It’s always nice to have bragging rights and any silverware is always welcomed.
DK: What did you make of Friday's Suffolk Premier Cup final - the game itself?
TF: It was one for the neutrals. Despite playing really good football at times, we let in 3 really sloppy goals in crucial moments of the game. I was very happy for Seth (Chambers) when he scored the winning penalty.
DK: How do you reflect on the FA Cup run and what memories standout for you from it?
TF: The FA Cup run was excellent. Loved every minute of it, especially the 1st round game against Burton. We definitely deserved to beat Maidstone in the last qualifying round. We always knew Burton would be a tough game as they are 5 levels higher but we can still be really proud of what we achieved.
DK: How do you reflect on the league season overall?
TF: The league season has been very disappointing. We found it really tough to get any momentum and struggled against the lesser teams, dropping stupid points.
DK: What are your 3 standout moments from this season overall?
TF: Burton 1st round game, Maidstone game and Premier Cup final.
DK: Do any league games standout to you in particular for any reason and why?
TF: Tamworth away stands out for me. Beating top of the league, away from home, was a massive result for us in avoiding relegation. It was a dogged, determined performance that deserved the 3 points.
