Netball, again played for County. Senior school, I did PE with the boys, I was deemed too aggressive after the Hockey incident to play with the girls! Turned out, I was bloody good at rugby & played for school team. Late teens I discovered karate & kick boxing, have represented GB 3 times in my late 20s early 30s. Late 40s....it's all about the weights & lifts No idea how far I can with it, but I'm aiming high
"Fuck me , remind me never to piss you off | |||
"Javelin in high school. Got around 55m but never followed up or pushed it further no idea why. Represented the RAF a few times and best throw was just over 65m. All self coached. I reckon with some proper coaching I could have been up there with the best." Cool | |||

"Tennis. Only person who could match me at 13 was the Teacher. My Grandparents paid for some lovely tennis stuff for me and lessons. It was something I really loved. And my Mother out of spite pulled the plug on the whole thing. " Why . That's not very nice ? | |||
"Define good at.. At school, I wasn't really into sport, so was distinct average at most. After school got into Surfing for a few years, but wouldn't say I was good at it particularly. Climbing was by far my best sport, but have that up last year due to constant injury. If my body ever fully recovers, I'll probably go back to it, if not, there's always surfing. "*given that up* | |||

Nothing followed up though because my school was pants and stoney broke when it came to stuff like that. That's a shitter . Sorry to hear that "Meh!

"Used to play Cricket for the school and local club. Was a decent sprinter and long jumper too. Then I found alcohol and it all went pear shaped. "Yep . That about sums me up too  | |||

"Played semi professional cricket including spells playing grade cricket in Australia. I had county trials when I was 12 but they rejected me on the grounds of my height or lack of. At 16 I shot up and signed for a minor county and never looked back. I played every summer weekend for almost 30 years. I don’t do that any more but I still turn out for my local club side and coach their youth team which is very rewarding." That's amazing . Cool | |||
