Favourite green : Great moor, and I have to mention the george of course or jonah will never forgive me ha ha! Most dreaded other green : well I seem to do bad on Stockport cc , every time I play there, it seems to have a curse on me , so I suppose that one! Ambition : Funniest bowling moment : British Parks merit, it was the first proper comp id qualified for, so I didn't take heed of the rules regarding proper clothing, so I turned up in jeans and t- shirt and was told by the officials the only way I was playing, if I wore waterproof leggings, ( this was in the summer as well) so you can imagine I looked a right pratt!!! Best piece of advice you could give : I cant really give any good advice out as im still a novice here in the stockport league, but what I have learnt this season is you get punished in the big games when you bowl short… And also practise a lot!!! find a good mark on your home green and perfect it!!
