First Season This one!
No of Games: Haven't been keeping track.
For 1st XV ditto
Number of Tries: A few - again haven't counted - not that many that I should have forgotten though!
Match Day Superstitions: None
Most Admired player at Witney: I can't single out anyone in particular because everybody has different strengths that I admire and it would take up too much room!
Favourite Rugby Tour: Never been - so hopefully the one this summer.
Most Embarrassing moment on the Pitch:
Probably my first game when we played old reds away, I scored a try and then screamed!
Most Embarrasing moment off the Pitch:
I was in a meeting at the council offices in Witney when randomly someone brought up the picture that was
taken when we were all in the bath! I didn't quite know where to put myself and was very glad I hadn't gotten my ass out!
Best Match for Witney: against greyhounds when I scored under the posts and we beat them 27-0
Worst Match for Witney: Both the matches that I have had to watch due to injury - being a spectator sucks!
How to improve training: It would probably be better if I could attend a bit more frequently.
Remaining Rugby Ambitions: to eventually understand everything that's going on and be in the right place at the right time a bit more often.
Miscellaneous Pet Hate: Lies, if everyone tod the truth life would be much more simple.
Bad Habits: Biting my nails and the skin around them, stressing myself out by trying to cram too much stuff into my time, probably lots of other stuff.
Desert Island Companion: Billie Joe Armstrong from Greenday,
Knickers or Thongs: Thongs
Dream Job: I have to say a physio as that is what I'm working towards and have been wanting to do for ages. But if I could be anything I would love to do something more exciting like being a stunt person or a pro snowboarder!
First Job: When I was still at school I worked at a riding stable mucking out, grooming and instructing.
Favourite thing about Rugby: It's the best sport I've played so far, it has something for everyone and it's good fun.
Wildest Post-Match Night Out: Halloween - can't remember why!
Other Sports tried: Loads; netball, basketball, football, martial arts, trampolining, wake boarding, snowboarding, skiing,caving, squash, horse riding, running, skydiving and bungey jumping.
Thoughts on Rugby before Playing: Never really thought much about it, didn't think it was ever something that would interest me and didn't think I'd be strong enough to be able to play.
Now Playing: I think it's awesome and like I said there's a position for everyone to suit all strengths.
Favourite Drink: Not that fussy but you can't beat a freezing cold beer. The odd tequila goes down well too!
Worst Drink: Anything aniseed and whisky. Yuk!
Favourite Food: All food, especially cake and takeways when I'm allowed!
Worst Food: There's not much I won't eat but I hate things with lots of fat, eg I have to dismantle bacon butties and pick off the rind much to the disgust of anyone else at the table.
Other Comments: Thanks to everyone for their patience as I knew nothing about the game when I started and only understand a little bit more now! I still need lots of explanations!
