Hi Guy"s (both Welsh Teams)
This post is my honest thoughts not just the post that you are suppose to put up after one of these.
Just want to say the commitment and determination from both Welsh teams was beyond anything that anybody could have expected or asked for - thank you.
Wales A. Mike and Steve both grinded the STT"s and picked up the points I knew they both would, they both ran bad in the MTT at really important times otherwise it would have been a different result. Aneurin put in a great performance in both sitngo"s but did not run well either, he was playing the MTT really well but I had to tell him to change gears, which he duly did and got really unlucky again. Sian also picked up good points in the STT"s and then ran deep in the MTT to be the top points scorer in either Welsh team, fantastic achievement when you consider the players involved. Was great being a part of the team.
Although I am over the moon with the A teams effort and performance the B team also deserve a mention. Both Rudders are two of the best players in APAT and people who have my total respect as players and people, they will be back in action for Wales soon I have no doubt and will be winning more medals. Gary is a great player who I think does not always get the credit he deserves (which is a lot, and I mean A LOT). He certainly justified his selection as Welsh captain in this event and I doubt it will be the last time we see him in the Red shirt representing Wales. Warren Jones and Darren Shallis are two more of the best all round players you will come across, if they were not Welsh they would have represented their team in numerous other team events recently and would walk into almost any other team. They both proved this in both the Home Nations and the events this weekend. The standard of players in this area is amazing. Well played to all of you.
Both teams, it was a great performance. We all know you need that little bit of luck at the right time in poker and I think we can honestly say we did not get it in this event (last year we did so we can"t complain). The event was still a great one and I hope you all get places in the teams next year should you wish to play it. I loved being Welsh captain for the second year in a row, it was a great honor, next year it will be time to give somebody else the chance as there is no shortage of great candidates.
Thank you all again.
