Hebburn Town proving doubters wrong as Hyde win extends stunning form
Hebburn Town made it seven wins in a row with a 3-1 victory at Northern Premier League rivals Hyde United.
Proving the doubters wrong is the main motivation behind Hebburn Town’s remarkable run of form - according to manager Daniel Moore.
Since suffering a 1-0 defeat in an FA Trophy tie at Dunston UTS in October, the Hornets have embarked on a stunning upturn in form by winning seven consecutive league games to move into second place in the Northern Premier League Premier Division table. The latest of those victories came on Saturday as Moore’s men came from a goal down to earn all three points with a 3-1 in their visit to Hyde United.
Taylor McMahon fired the hosts in front midway through the first-half but on-loan Hartlepool United duo Campbell Darcy and Kian Foreman both found the net to help the Hornets claim yet another win to boost their hopes of pushing for yet another promotion up the non-league pyramid.
Moore revealed his players are taking motivation from being largely ignored during what has become an increasingly exciting season.
He told The Gazette: “We are better equipped but it’s just down to us to do what we have done for majority of the season. If you look at the results, it’s ticked over nicely. I know we are on a good run but I still think if we’d just ticked over with the results, we would have still be in and around it and there or thereabouts anyway.
“Hebburn may not have the stature some other clubs down when you look at the perspective of people from outside of the area and that is maybe because we have moved so quickly in recent years. I heard someone say when we beat someone it’s something they’ve not done right or the mistakes they have made, it’s not the fact we have turned them over or been better than them and that’s given the players motivation. The lads are using that a bit, I wouldn’t say we’ve been disrespected but I don’t think teams look at us as a threat - but in the dressing room, that’s a totally different mindset to what the lads have.”
The Hornets will now turn their focus towards next Saturday’s home game with North East rivals Morpeth Town as they look to make it eight wins in a row.
