Most Memorable Moment

I've been lucky enough to have had my fair share and ones that come to mind are winning the county rinks with mum,dad and my brother. My first major title was the British rinks with Mark Thorpe, Marley and Sean Hughes, they gave me my international break and I am still hugely grateful. Winning a first Welsh title after losing in a few finals was pretty special with Jonathan Gladstone and my bro. After years of trying and a huge team effort, winning the inter-county has to be up there, along with the Welsh League Winners, with some of my closest friends was brilliant. The World Triples in Belgium with Mark Thorpe and Andrew was very special.

Hardest Opponent

There's lots to choose from, you've got your international players that have played for years and have been there done that and know how to win. But never under estimate someone hungry for their break!

Most Respected Player

I respect every player, and I try to learn as much as possible from the more experienced players.

Favourite Format and Position Played

I play a lot of singles now and really enjoy it, I feel it has changed me as a player. Honestly though, I like playing anywhere! Every bowl is important.

Any other sports played

I started playing rugby at 15 in Whitland and loved it, so I gave bowls up for a few years. Love a bit of pool and darts as well.

Best achievements

I have to say my 2 beautiful girls and wife, they make me very proud and I'm very lucky to have them in my life. Also very lucky they support me when I go off and play the sport I love! Thank you.
