Accomplishments

I am a member of the Colts Rugby Team at The Oaks at Staddiscombe. I was voted Players Player in the recent awards and I believe I am a valued and respected member of the team. I am a dedicated player, am always first to training sessions and can be relied upon for matches and all other fixtures that I am expected to attend to represent my team.


I like to be independent and am happy to get to work under my own steam through cycling, although I have just applied for my provisional driving licence and will be taking driving lessons after my 17th birthday in October.


I enjoy playing basketball for fun and fitness and often attend the Marjons Fitness Club to play this sport.


Like most young men my age I do enjoy some on-line gaming with my circle of friends.
