Q. What about your first singles game?
A. Can’t remember, but im sure I won again lol



Q. Whose the best player you have ever played?
A. Would have to say my dad, had some great games over the years, he use to beat me all the time but now things have changed, he can’t beat me lol
 


Q. Whose the best player you have ever played with? why...
A. Would have said my dad but after winning the Harrows UK pairs championship with my best mate, I would have to say Ryan Murray, couldn’t have been any better, best day of my life so far!

 

Q. You were the ovbious choice to replace James as Captain. How was that for u?
A. Didn’t think I was the obvious choice but got to say I am a proud man being captain of such a great bunch of guys and also have a great “wing man” at my side!



Q. You and Ryan won the rileys pairs, what an achievement! what was the experience like?
A. The experience was amazing, the funny thing is that I wasn’t supposed to be with Ryan, Darren Bevridge couldn’t make it for the qualifiers so Ryan asked me to play ( 2nd best ). And the rest is History!!!!!!!



Q. Worst darts moment?
A. Getting beat from Terry’s brother ( Ammos ) lol, the best thing is every time I see he him he reminds me of it! Lol   “What a bell end!”



Q. Everyone knows you a Rugby Club man to heart. Hows it been playing in the nest?
A. That’s is true, but to be honest I don’t mind where I play as long as it’s with the lads!



Q. Best darts moment?
A. Got to be winning the UK open pairs with my best mate Ryan Murray!.



Q. Favourite Band
A. Don’t mind some band’s but got to say Elvis is my favourite!

 

Q. What you think of the TT website?
A. Think the website is great keeps all the boys posted on what is been happening, helped me when I was on holiday just to see how we were getting on.  Think Danny has done a great job, keep it up!

 

Q. This is the first year we have had a big squad with competiton for places making your job as captain a tough one. Whats your message to all the guys who havent been playing as much as they would like to?
A. That is true but think all the players we have are as good as each other and think the team spirit is great and to all the one’s that maybe aren’t getting a game as much as they would like I would say just keep getting behind the boys and trust me your time will come I promise use will all get a game, just think in some games players have to be sacrificed for the benefit of the team ( if you aren’t happy let me know I will get it sorted )  (Gaffer).

 

Q. Your a quality Darts player with bags of natural ability and dont practice as you prefer Rugby. Why?
A. The real reason for me not practising is that I just had too much on and with work as well. I have got to admit I do prefer rugby to darts, just feel like I was losing interest in darts, but hopefully now that we have a great team I can maybe get back to how I can normally play, feel like I have been struggling a bit!

 

Q. Are you happy with the current start to the season?
A. Think the boys have done amazing so far, think a lot of guys have improved ( Lijo, James, Danny and Fordy ), hopefully we can keep this up and win the singles and fours leagues and earn the star we have on our tops!
 


Q. Darts players like a bevvy...whats your drink then?
A. Got to admit I love a pint of Tennets but got to say I love a wee cheeky whiskey and red bull with James and Lijo, sorry for getting you into them lol

 

Q. If you were a pro...What would be your Walk on song?
A. Charles and Eddie (would i lie to you) lol
