“I was happy with my performance. We would have all liked to get three points and I was disappointed that we didn’t. There’s obviously room for improvement and I’m confident it will happen.

“All the boys and the boss were very pleased for me. They all congratulated me before and after the game.

“They’ve been great for me. To get a lot of nice messages after the game was great as well. I had so many text and WhatsApp messages. I’ve got a lot of friends and family who are always supporting me. It’s always nice when you get a message from them.”
