Most Admired International Player

Most Admired International Player
Dont have a fav think most of them are fit and major eye candy.

MOST ADMIRED WITNEY PLAYER(s) AND WHY:
Has to be Lolly always looks out for everyone and no matter how painful her knees get she always carries on. Debbie always amazes me how she makes me look so unfit, good on her!

Favourite Rugby Tour

Only had 1 tour so far so would have to be Spain 2007 great experience even though 

i wasnt able to do much due to a broken coccyx

Most Embarrassing moment on the Pitch

Has to be when i broke my coccyx and Smorley had to spray and rub cooling cream 

on me, not that it bothered me at the time the pain was so bad. Luckily the camera man had just left the pitch could have been worse! Then i had to walk round with an ice pack down my pants!

Most Embarrasing moment off the Pitch

Probably would have to be the way i had to walk around after my injury, looked

like i had S*** my pants. Also having Debbie push me round the airport in a wheelchair at 100 miles an hour.

Or it could be when my friends twin brothers had their birthday and i asked which brothers birthday it was, how blonde is that.

Best Match for Witney


Beating Newcastle in the mudduest and coldest game ever, it was so much
fun.  Couldnt tell who was playing who. I wasnt dirty enough so had Lolly and 

Laura pull me along the ground, think they ended up muddier than i did!

Worst Match for Witney

Has to be my first away game when i damaged all my legs and ankles, I stayed on the pitch but i wasnt any good for anything. Every time i tried to run my legs felt like lead.

How to improve training

Do some more class room work

Remaining Rugby Ambitions

Would like to do alot more with rugby but quite happy just being there for

 Witney Angels at the mo

Miscellaneous

OTHER SPORTS TRIED: 
Athletics,swimming, squash, hockey, golf, tennis, and Horse riding probably tried most of them at some stage of my life.


Funniest Rugby Moment:

Has to be the match on tour when you couldnt see the lines on the pitch very well and Mary was sprinting down the pitch to score a try only to run completely off the pitch. Also has to be when i was running to get a try and Smorley was shouting at me because she thought i had ran over the try line it was that muddy you couldnt see.

Pet Hate:
When your stood in a queue in a shop and the person at the till is on their mobil they have no communication with the cashier and have no regard for anyone around them, usual having an arguement with their partner.

Desert Island Companion and why: 
Would have to be my kids, they always make a dull day bright and i never get bored

Favourite Food & Drink:
 A good Sunday roast, with a fine wine! 

Worst Drink: Martini as i got really drunk for the first time on it and havent been able to drink it since

Most Attractive Male: James simpson daniels

Bad Habits:
being a big softy

Knickers or Thongs, and why?
Thongs, no VPL, but not for rugby you tend to get a groove rider and its NOT good!

What's the wildest post-match celebration you've had?

Was probably when we beat newcastle cant remember much of it so it had to be a good one!!!!

Last reason I had lots of support from all the player and the coaches and i would like to thank them for that. Just keep up the good work girls were a great team together

EDITORS COMMENTS

Shellie has improved in her games and has shown that she has no fear and with running in a few tries i'm sure this season we will see alot more of it.Has fitted in well in the team and brings along with the other new ones a bit of fresh air.
