- Favourite Touch Moment
So many to choose from !!!
Playing wise :
1) Wining the European Championships as player and coach of England Mens 30s.
2) Defending 4 sets of six on our line, for England Mens Open against Australia and keeping them out, really the whole first half of that game 4-1, unbelievable effort by the lads.
Fun wise :
1) The Elvis and Priscilla Mount Gambier Touch Tournie. Many memborable moments, picking up in a Elvis suit, whist doing the worm in blueberrys... pure class and best of all playing the national anthem before the final, air guitar style with an inflatable fake guitar.
2) Anytime watching the Marlins play... they are so so so good
3) Apparently telling the Aussie Mens Open team they are a bunch of F%$ing C£*ts specifically Sonda and Stanton, before my England team mates dragged me out of the club. I can't remember any of this as I was so so so intoxicated (Sharon, Ath and Leese can confirm). Apparently at the next pub I had apologised and was drinking with the Aussie team happily. Since I have questioned Sonda if he recalls any of this and fortunately he doesnt, so it wasnt as bad as my team mates led me to believe.
