Most Memorable Moment

I've been lucky enough to have lots of memorable moments with bowls so wont name them all, some of the highlights though would be winning my first British title in 2001, which was with my dad and Martyn Davies, that season we held the Welsh, British and World Triples at same time.

Another highlight is the more recent success of Pembrokeshire at the Top Team event in 2019, being the first and only Welsh county to win the event.

Back to back World Pair's titles with Jonathan Gladstone has been unbelievable.

I think lastly is being part of the Welsh squad for 23 consecutive years, being picked for the full squad at 13 years old and being there ever since is something I am very proud of.

Hardest Opponent

Had plenty of good battles over the years with many different bowlers, if I had to name 1 though i'd probably go with Andrew Leckey from Ireland - super bowler!

Most Respected Player

Again, there's a lot but you can't look much further than Stephen Williams (Swansea) for the length of time involved in Welsh squad and the multiple World and British titles he's one - Brilliant achievements

Favourite Format and Position Played

Enjoy all the formats for different reasons but if had to pick one I'd probably go with singles. Although there is nothing quite like being involved in the Rinks team event at the British Championships!

Any other sports played

Played football, Cricket, Rugby and Tennis during my school years.
