Bowls career

In 2016 he won the National title in the Pairs with Sam Tolchard.[1] The bowler who represents Devon[2] represented England during the 2016 World Outdoor Bowls Championship.

He was selected as part of the English team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in Queensland[3] where he claimed a bronze medal in the Fours with David Bolt, Jamie Chestney and Sam Tolchard.[4][5]

He was crowned National singles champion in August 2018 after defeating Andrew Squire 21–16 in the final.[6] He subsequently became the British singles champion after winning the British Isles Bowls Championships the following year.[7] He bowls for Kings BC, who have won the Top Club championship four years running from 2016–2019.[8]

gollark: That's currently all I have to say about Android opensourceness. I might come up with more later.
gollark: Banking apps use this for """security""", mostly, as well as a bunch of other ones because they can.
gollark: Google has a thing called "SafetyNet" which allows apps to refuse to run on unlocked devices. You might think "well, surely you could just patch apps to not check, or make a fake SafetyNet always say yes". And this does work in some cases, but SafetyNet also uploads lots of data about your device to Google servers and has *them* run some proprietary ineffable checks on it and give a cryptographically signed attestation saying "yes, this is an Approved™ device" or "no, it is not", which the app's backend can check regardless of what your device does.
gollark: The situation is also slightly worse than *that*. Now, there is an open source Play Services reimplementation called microG. You can install this if you're running a custom system image, and it pretends to be (via signature spoofing, a feature which the LineageOS team refuse to add because of entirely false "security" concerns, but which is widely available in some custom ROMs anyway) Google Play Services. Cool and good™, yes? But no, not really. Because if your bootloader is unlocked, a bunch of apps won't work for *other* stupid reasons!
gollark: If you do remove it, half your apps will break, because guess what, they depend on Google Play Services for some arbitrary feature.
