Most Memorable Moment
So many, I can't choose an individual moment.
First time putting on the Welsh top in the 2001 A series was an exciting time, made more special by playing alongside my Grandad who introduced me to bowls. We finished r/up in the triples. 2008 being part of the first Welsh rink to win the British 4s, then defending that British title in 2009.
Being part of the Pembrokeshire county team since 1999 has been special, we finally won the British Top Team event, this was huge for us as a county.
Getting my first trophy at a World Championship in 2018 meant a lot, although r/up in the triples I'll always be grateful to Alan and Andrew Evans for a fantastic run and a great weekend.
Playing pairs with another great friend and brilliant player, Andrew Hudson. This has been a whirlwind where we held the Pembs, Welsh, British and World pairs title altogether. Then continuing on to be the first pair to retain the World title, that was some weekend - thanks mate!!
Finally I have to mention a very special Welsh 4s title, alongside Martyn Davies, Mikey John and James Gladstone (Big bro) that was something I'd dreamed of but wasn't sure it would happen. Now to have the chance of playing for Wales with James is incredible, very special moment for the family!
Thank you to everyone who over the years have helped me, played with or against me and my family for all of the support 🏴🏴
Hardest Opponent
I've played against so many tough players, this answer can change every season.
Most Respected Player
Every game should begin and end with respect for each other. No result is guaranteed win, lose or draw always have respect.
Favourite Format and Position Played
As long as I'm bowling I don't mind the format or position - apparently I'm not a bad lead at the moment!
