| Known as: | Royo / Dinky | |
| Date of Birth: | 12.10.75 | |
| Birthplace: | Cardiff (apologies) | |
| Senior Fugitives debut: | 1990 v Leyhill Open Prison, Risca Leisure Centre for Mike Thomas’ NFCC 3rd Extras. (4thXI in my book) | |
| Best Performance for club: | 7 – 18 v Tondu they say although personally I reckon getting over the 20 Strongbows mark on Boxing Day 1994 (and ending up being told about the war by Jonners Granddad for 4 hours wasn’t bad going either.) Especially as I was aged 19 and didn’t fall asleep. | |
| Favourite Moment in Fugitive career: | At aged 15 convincing Rae (eager eyed and vigilant steward of the day) I was in fact 18 and getting on ‘The Bow’. Learning to appeal / politics from Dem was also significant in my development. | |
| Captain / Officer Positions (& Year) | I rolled the pitch a lot last year. | |
| Other Cricket Teams played for: | St Kilda City C.C. | |
| Cricketing claim-to-fame: | Me and Popey played for a touring team from Kent up at Dowlais Top. I got 4 –64 and was told by Norman Drewitt (Chairman) this was respectable. I then pointed out it was 4 overs for 64. Technically I was on tour though. | |
| Favourite other sports: | Rugby, Kabadi | |
| Song to walk on to: | Anything by Queen | |
| Often quoted as saying: | "What time do you want picking up Sarge?" |
