World Ranking at 1st August 2005: 574
For those players that live in a more crowded environment, no doubt, from time to time, there will be reflection of relaxing time spent on the lawns and living on a small but beautiful island, midway between the UK mainland and Ireland. However, 46 year old, IT Manager, Kevin Wells, describes himself as a person that dislikes playing croquet with people that display an attitude of Traa-dy-lioor. Literally translated as, “time enough”, that local Manx folk lore sometimes depicts as, “manyana - but without the urgency”. Bounded by the sea does create practical difficulties for him of not getting to play in enough croquet tournaments due to family commitments and the cost of getting off the Island, but this has not deterred him from venturing far and wide. Marriage, and 3 children, aged 14, 13 and 6 has provided some respite from his dread of playing in a slow paced encounter but it has not stopped him from winning the Isle of Man championships in 1999, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Last September he was also runner up in the Plate event of the European Croquet Federation Championships in Jersey. His other passions include driving his MX5 over the mountain part of the famous Isle of Man TT course and admiring Old English Sheepdogs |
