Captain Keiran Morphew, Adam Mills and Luke Ingram reflect on the season.
DK: Start off with you Keiran as a captain, how does it feel to be holding two trophies?
KM: Yeah, quality. Can't believe it's really going to happen to be honest. During the year you never think you're going to win the league, but you find yourself top of the league for about three or four months and then you win it three games to spare. And then you find out you're not bad as a team. No, quality. To do the cup as well with Suffolk, never done that before I don't think. League and cup double at step three, so one for the record books.
DK: Lukey, how does it feel to have done it with the three of you, being here last time you won the league?
LI: Yeah, special. Millzy's done a world tour, then he's come back. He didn't realise that this is the best place to be. But yeah, like I say, I'm with my best mate Morphs. So yeah, special. This is by far and away the best club to be at. You get treated like kings. It's just a special thing that happened to us. Very happy.
DK: And Milzy, how does it feel to be back as champions?
AM: It's good to be back. It was a no-brainer really. Come back with the lads. Been here enough times now. It's good to be back.
KM: And he gets a medal as well! Love it baby!
DK: You're not going anywhere then anytime soon?
AM: No, I'm staying until I retire.
KM: Heard it here FIRST!
LI: I want that in writing!
DK: That's going to be the headline now! What's the most special thing for you boys in particular?
KM: To do it with Luke. Both hitting 500 appearances soon, 10, 12 years. I think that's paid off. Staying at one club and then doing this. That's just everything you wish for really. To have such a successful season. Can't ask for much more.
LI: It's all the same people here as well. The people behind the scenes all driving the club. It's just a small village. We're only going to get so many people watch games. We're only going to be able to generate so many funds. They've done it the right way. No one can say they've ever won the league and kept their finances in check and stuff like that. This is by far and away the biggest achievement of anything I've seen in Suffolk non-league football. It's pretty special.
DK: Has it sunk in for any of you yet?
KM: We won it last month. It sunk in last month really that we won the league.
LI: We would have rather won it last minute so everyone's still buzzing. We've been out on the lash and had a hangover for a week then lost a game and then lost another game. At the end of the day... KM: We're on holiday! LI: Yeah, we're on holiday! It's happy days! You win it early and it's such a good achievement. It's unheard of really.
DK: It's a quick return from holiday for Tuesday night though.
KM: Turn it On then turn it off for Tuesday night. LI: Stamford are good lads. We wanted them to go well. What can you say? We've lost today. We've won the league nearly a month ago. It's outrageous. We're going to have a few beers now, a bit of karaoke. We're going to enjoy it and celebrate. None of us ever thought this would happen.
DK: When did each of you think we were going on to win it?
KM: I'm pessimistic. I still didn't think we were going to win it. On the actual day we won it, Ings thought we won it at Christmas. He wanted to book the end of the season due for the 4th of May.
LI: I thought we'd won it just as we finished the first game of the season when we lost 6-1. I thought, yeah, we've got a good chance. Outrageous achievement. We should probably really thank the management as well. They've brought in some good players. They've driven us forward. They've been telling us we'd win the league for ages. Even when we were behind their backs, what the hell are they on about? Happy days. Time to enjoy.
DK: What about you, Milzy? When did you think we'd won it?
AM: I don't know. LI: When he was at Chelmsford, I reckon.
