“I didn’t get off to the greatest of starts. I chose not to play in a few events and had a longer break. I felt I was playing catch up throughout the season.

“This year I am trying to start much earlier and hopefully that can pay off and I’ll hit the ground running. “There’s a lot of hunger there. I didn’t get the success that I am used to last season.

That only encourages me more to practice harder and get back to those winning ways. “I look at that as an exciting challenge, not that I had a substandard season and get down on myself. I want to hit the ground running and have a good one.” Who is through to the last 32 of the Championship League?
