Favourite Dodgeball Moment: Watching an out-of-breath security guard chasing an oblivious ball retriever around the sinking end of Basketball City
Bio: I've been a dodgeballer since 2012, and I'm going to keep going as long as my knees will allow it. I'm a dad to Nick, Izzy and a cockapoo called Remy. Outside of dodgeball my other main hobby is Lego, and I'm also very enthusiastically average at chess.
Club Title: Secretary
Favourite Dodgeball Moment: Making my first catch in an international tournament at the 2023 Euros in Croatia. Anyone who plays with me knows that catching is not my stong suit so I was trying to really focus on that aspect of my play in training. To be able to make a important catch at such a high level tournament was a big moment for me!
Bio: I have been playing dodgeball since 2021 and it has quickly become a huge part of my social, travel and exercise calanders. This year I am hoping to continue to improve my skills, especially catching! My day job is as a Science and Physics teacher and I also compete in triathlons and running events.
Club Title: Treasurer
Favourite Dodgeball Moment: Winning a 1v1 sudden death to secure a placement game on my captaincy debut. We placed 6th out of 22 teams.
Bio: Dodgeball has been love at first sight since I started in winter 2022.
Shout out to the incredible dodgeball community. It's this unique blend of genuine friendliness off the court and fierce competitiveness on it that energizes me and makes me want to keep playing and improving.
Club Title: Social Media and Events Secretary
Favourite Dodgeball Moment: I was playing for only 4 months when I experienced my first dodgeball tournament. I was in a team called Demonios (Red Team). Our team comprised of players from Portugal, Northern Ireland, Waterford and Dublin. Coming into the semi finals as the 4th ranked team, we won and made our way to the final and actually won the Tequilla Trophy. That was my first Dodgeball winning experience. From then on I strive to be better and train harder.
Bio: I am a Nurse by profession, Baker as hobby, social Volleybal player and Dodgeballer at heart.
