Foalle’s record breaking achievement

Jack Foalle admitted that he was “very impressed” with his achievement of scoring in nine consecutive games, but was quick to heap praise on his team mates. “It comes a lot from the work rate of the team to get in positions to score. I didn’t think I’d get the goals so quickly but I believe in my capability to score goals and with the team we’ve built, I’ve been able to progress myself massively on. ”
Foalle has been a revelation since returning to Hillheads in the summer, scoring 16 goals in 14 games, clearly exceeding his own expectations. “To be fair I thought to myself I’d aim to try and get a goal a game but I know it’s unrealistic so if I can get somewhere around that I’ll be happy. I gave myself a target of 20 for the season but I think I might have to up that now. To be fair working with someone like Andrei and Dan Taggart makes the target a lot more achievable for me because they take away the pressure, they take away the base runner which gives me the space, so working with a strike partner that’s able to be there and take a little bit of the stress away has been massively helpful in my achievement. It is a team game so if I can’t get a goal myself, if I’m not in a position to score, I’ll try and help someone else to score. But if I hadn’t got my goal I think would have taken the penalty. But I was comfortable to let Gavin have it because he’s got a 100% record tasking penalties so I thought I’d give that one to him and let him wrap the game up!”
