Ben Roberts could not imagine a better way to celebrate his first try for the club then by helping Bournemouth get promoted.
The second row could be the answer to trivia questions regarding who got the required bonus-point score for promotion.
But instead of letting the glory go to his head, the level-headed lock was pleased just to be the fortunate one against Exmouth on March 9.
He said: “It is not about that kind of glory for me - it is all really about the team.
“We got promoted in my first season at the club here back in 2012, and the boys have all worked really hard this year - and it is all about the team effort.
“I was just in the right place at the right time to get that try.
“It is nice that particular try was my first one to get for the club, and it is a bit of a high point but I won’t reflect on it, it is just job done and now we just move onto the next game.”
Bournemouth followed up their promotion-winning game at home to Exmouth by sealing the season double over Ivybridge last Saturday with a 30-24 win in Devon.
Roberts was pleased the team could win his last away game of the season, because he will miss the final trip to Newton Abbot on April 6.
But he said the win over Ivybridge was not soured by conceding a late try, which meant they registered a late losing bonus point.
He added: “We have only got one more away game left now at Newton Abbot and unfortunately I am not there for that game,
but the boys will dig it out until the end of the season and hopefully get another win on the road and finish the season strongly.
“The boys all already knew I was unavailable so I was 100 per cent pleased with the win at Ivybridge on Saturday.
“We were a little bit disappointed to concede the losing bonus point late at the end, but Ivybridge really battled hard and they did work us all the way until the end and in some ways they deserve it but it is just a shame to give it away.”
