After the success of the 17/18 season, Fletcher Sports caught up with 2017 Players player of the year & Supporters player of the year Anthony Armstrong to debrief on last years exploits and look ahead to the new season.
If you had to sum up last season in one sentence what would it be?
Beyond anything I could have expected at the start of the season.
The Siam Cup was a huge win - how did it feel in the changing room after the game?
We were all buzzing. Everyone, whether we’ve lived here all our life or been here for a year, know how much it meant to everyone at the club.
This season’s team works so well together, what makes everyone gel?
We’re all good mates, it’s a lot easier to turn up and grind out results when you’re doing it with your mates
What was your biggest challenge last season?
The biggest challenge was probably being at the top end of the table. Everyone you play against is desperate to beat you so we had to make sure we turned up every week.
What are you most looking forward to next season and the promotion?
All of the challenges of next year; the increased travelling, stronger teams. You always want to test yourself at the highest level possible so really looking forward to giving it a crack.
