FAVOURITE WALES MEMORY: Coming back from a goal down in the final minutes, to beat the Haudenosaunee at the 2013 World Cup. A close second would be beating Penn State by a single goal in what was one my favourite USA tours, second only to the one to Florida, where sunshine and a trip to Universal Studios were a big plus not to mention the epic buffet breakfast. The game play and bonding opportunities of tours are definitely some of my best memories. Although I suppose nothing quite beats the buzz you get from singing the national anthem in front on a crowd before each game at the major championships.

FAVOURITE ATHLETE: Sally Gunnell and Dame Kelly Holmes
