I played alongside Natasha Williams, Bethan Daunton, Laura Collier and many other amazing TT Players.  As a senior I continued to train travelling to Cardiff twice a week after work to be with the elite squad,  I played Swansea & Welsh League, Women's British League and European Women's League and in 2 European Championships.  My most memorable experience was travelling to China and Singapore to play for Wales in the World Championships and Commonwealth Games.  I am married with 2 wonderful children Lara and Finn and my Husband Matt is a great support,  I live in Llansamlet Swansea.<br /> I was quite a late starter compared to others but to me there is no age limit, as long as you have passion and are prepared to put in the hours you can achieve almost anything. <br /> <br /> Ok thats enough about me, I am hoping to get this blog up and running again over the next few months so please be patient!  Please keep in touch e mail me or contact me on my mobile number 07428782602.  I have another job which I work 2 full days on a Monday and Friday so on these days I will be unavailable.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
