Daf Hyett described scoring his first goal for Hartpury as an amazing feeling after helping the Acorns to a 5-1 victory over Bishops Cleeve.
The substitute found the net in the second half as Hartpury produced an impressive performance against their Gloucestershire rivals, continuing their unbeaten home record this season.
Hyett was delighted to get off the mark for the club, admitting that he had been waiting for the moment.
“Getting my first goal, it’s about time really,” Hyett said.
The forward also explained how the goal came about, with Hyett focused on making the most of the chance when the ball arrived in his direction.
“When I saw it coming across, I thought just get the ball in the goal and luckily that’s what I done,” he added.
The victory was particularly pleasing for Hartpury given the difficult conditions the game was played in, meaning the team had to adapt their approach to maintain their performance.
“It was really hard, but we’ve got a good group of boys who managed to get the ball on the floor and keep it moving,” Hyett said.
The routine victory for the Acorns extended their impressive run of form, with the side having lost just once in their last seven matches. They also remain unbeaten at home throughout the season.
Despite their positive form, Hartpury did fall to defeat last time out as they travelled to Portishead, but Hyett acknowledged the importance of bouncing back.
“Obviously disappointing on the weekend with a loss, but if we keep these wins going, we’ll do really well,” Hyett admitted.
Attention now turns to another important home fixture for Hartpury as they welcome playoff chasing Falmouth to Gloucestershire, the Cornish based side currently sit two points behind Hartpury.
Hyett believes maintaining their confidence will be key as they look to extend their positive run.
“Keep the momentum going and keep the winning feeling around the group,” he said. “Keep the confidence high and keep winning.”
