What is your greatest sporting achievement?
I'm not very sporty anymore but a hole in one is probably the best for me. Closely followed by a 161 checkout in darts and numerous 180s. The finally seven balling a few people in Pool.
What makes them so great is I'm not very good at any of the above 'sports'. |  | | |  |

Scoring a goal from right back at under 11's only for the coach to say I should never have come out of my half......it was then I knew rugby was for me.
Enjoyed captaining and improving a team that had lost 106 nil at start of season to victory over the same opponents the following March. (They couldnt fecking beilieve it)
You can always turn the tables in sport if you have the belief and strong mental state. |  | | |

I once got a 9 break in snooker and I've had a 147 dart finish from 501.
I'm not sure which is the greater achievement? |  |

Hustling people on the pool table basically funded my entire education and social life for three years. On a good night id win £200.
Wasn't bad at snooker, but I could only ever manage a break of about 70.
My football career was far from glamorous, only made a few glorious appearances in the Welsh league division 2 as a marauding full back. |  |

I'd say a 147 checkout is a bit more impressive than a break of 9. Was it red-black-red 😜 |  | | |

I've cleared up from the break in pool. Only happened once though and involved a lot of good fortune. | | | |

Playing rugby a number of years ago, our coach Chris Davey took me to one side before a game V Treorchy and informed me I was propping against a good young player whom he was thinking of capping at U21 level, I was in my late 20's. "Rough him up he said, see if he has any bottle"...... turns out it was Gethin Jenkins, more of a claim to fame than a sporting achievement....... he turned out to be pretty decent! |  | | |

Do you remember Iestyn Thomas of Pontypool?
Christ that boy was a strong scrummager!!
Played against him at youth and even behind my tighthead I could feel this immense pressure coming through.
Dean Thomas was immensley strong as well for such a pint sized flanker. | | | |

There was a point that I was playing so much pool i would be disappointed if I didn't clear up in one visit. We also used to have big break style competitions where id clear all 15 balls in under 50 seconds. Lost in the final of a national tournament though to a bloke from Keele with cerebral palsy who despite the fact he could barely walk or grip the cue properly was just unbelievable. Good times | |
