DK: How did you find the season from a personal perspective (Res/U18s) - arguably a successful one?
CS: I feel like I had a decent season from a personal perspective this year. Yes I would say a successful year for the 18s winning the league and also a good competitive year for reserves.
DK: Can you pick 3 standout games from this season, if so which ones and why?
CS: U18s first round FA Youth Cup, this is a big stand out game due to it being a great achievement for us. U18s semi final of county cup, this one because of making it to a county cup final twice in a row. Reserves Wroxham reserves away this was a stand out game due to us being there first loss all season.
DK: What'd you make of the season for the Ressies?
CS: U18s first round FA Youth Cup, this is a big stand out game due to it being a great achievement for us. U18s semi final of county cup, this one because of making it to a county cup final twice in a row. Reserves Wroxham reserves away this was a stand out game due to us being there first loss all season.
DK: What'd you make of the season for the Ressies?
CS: It was a tough season overall and I think we were definitely disappointed with how it went this year.
DK: A very historic season for the U18s - how proud are you overall?
CS: Yes a very good year for the 18s being undefeated in the league and having great cup runs so very proud of the lads.
DK: How special was it being part of that impressive FA Youth Cup run, the best the club's ever had?
CS: Yes very special to be apart of the FA Youth Cup run and to do it with these lads as well was amazing achievement for us all but was a big shame to of missed the second round proper due to injury.
DK: Where do you think this season ranks within your previous seasons at the club?
CS: Right at the very top definitely one of the best seasons I’ve played both personally and with the team but that credit to the lads I played with.
DK: Similarly, how'd you summarise your time at the club?
CS: It’s been amazing loved every second of it I feel I have improved so much since joining but that comes down to the incredible coaches I’ve had throughout the 2 years and also met great lads along the way.
DK: Unfortunate to not quite retain the Suffolk Midweek Cup, but you must be otherwise proud of that run?
CS: Yes it was a good run and proud to of got back two back finals in this competition but was very disappointing to of not retained it.
DK: An unbeaten U18 League Champion campaign, how does that feel?
CS: Yes feels very good to of gone through the season with no losses in the league and am so proud of the lads.
DK: Can you recall a few saves that you made this season that stand out?
CS: I would say Wroxham away I made a few big saves to keep a clean sheet and win us the game but if I was to pick one it would be a top bins saves against FC Peterborough.
DK: You've kept a good clean sheet ratio this season, many stand out to you?
CS: Yes I think all of the FA Youth cup ones stand out but if I had to pick one it would be Fakenham in the youth cup made a few big saves.
DK: A largely unchanged team over the previous seasons, how much has that consistency and togetherness played a part in the success?
CS: Yes the consistency has played a big part in the success from the last 2 years and what helps is how close we all are as a team and I think this shows on the pitch.
