Defender/Midfielder Kyle Hammond reflects on the 2022-23 season, retaining the Premier Cup and talks about his brace against Ilkeston.
DK: How do you feel the season has gone from both a personal and team view point?
KH: On a personal note I think I was consistent throughout the season, chipped in with a few goals which was an improvement from last year. Team point of view as everyone has said it was up and down too much and not enough consistency. Struggled away from home which we need to sort out but on the other hand we know we can get to the levels we need too with certain games we played like especially in the fa cup run.
DK: Can you pick a goal you scored this season that stands out most go you and why?
KH: My favourite goal was the second against Ilkeston little outside the foot past the keeper and was an important goal at the time, was a shame we couldn’t hold on to the win in that game.
DK: How much did it mean to you to have retained the Suffolk Premier Cup again?
KH: Always nice to win a cup at the end of the season that’s something everyone wants to do and should be aiming for at the start of the season.
DK: What did you make of the Suffolk Premier Cup final - the game itself?
KH: Was good for everyone watching that’s for sure, we should have been 2/3-0 up in the first 20 mins didn’t take our chances and kind of bit us in the arse as Stowmarket have good players and can hurt us at anytime and we gave them a sniff and made it hard for us.
DK: How do you reflect on the FA Cup run?
KH: Fa cup run was brilliant loved every minute of it, playing against better teams in terms of leagues and better players is what I love doing to show people how good we can be. I thought we gave Burton a really good game and credit to them they played their full team. Was the furthest I’ve been in the fa cup so proud of myself, the team and club.
DK: What memories standout for you from the FA Cup run?
KH: Just experiencing the whole day going up to Burton playing against them having all the fans travel up to watch. And doing ourselves proud.
DK: Do any league games standout to you in particular for any reason and why?
KH: Probably the Royston game at home on a Tuesday night think it was 5-1 or something. Thought we were ruthless that game and didn’t give nothing away and took our chances. Got two goals myself that game as well haha.
DK: Congratulations on signing a new 2 year deal with the club, how pleased and proud are you to have committed your future to the club?
KH: Thanks bud. Really pleased I’ve loved being here from the moment I came through the door. Hopefully make more history for the club in the time I’m here.
DK: What targets do you have for next season?
KH: Targets for me are as a team be more consistent which ultimately means you win more games and finish higher in the league than we have in the last 2 years. Have another good cup run in the fa cup or trophy. Win the premier cup again. And personally try and improve my goals tally from last year.
