What Andy T doesn't mention in his post below is the pivotal role he played in our win in Rotterdam. Every Thursday, he patiently asks us to play a certain way, communicate a certain way, and so on and so on. As all the club's previous captains and coaches would testify, at times it's a phenomenally thankless task. Some of the first 20 mins of Saturday's match might have been enough to make him tear his hair out (ahem), but during the remaining 70 mins, we followed Thorny's way to the very best of our abilities, and got our reward. Andy is right to say that all 12 of the squad contributed significantly in the match, but for his efforts week in, week out and his leadership on the day – including an inspirational half-time team talk – our number 23 thoroughly deserved to be the first Accie to hold The Dietz Cup aloft. Well deserved honour, mate!
