Born in Barry, Wales, Chris first tried croquet at Oxford University. Six years later, he returned to the game when the Dyffryn Croquet Club was founded in 1986. In 1992 he made his international debut at the WCF championships in Newport, Rhode Island. A regular Welsh international and three times Welsh Champion, he has also won one of the coveted 'eights' trophies, the Spencer Ell, in 1994. In 2000, he led the Welsh side to victory in the first World 14-point Team Championship in Italy. Widely known as the compiler of the World Croquet Rankings list, he has also developed an interactive rankings website, which provides up to the minute world rankings and which has enabled players all over the world to review their playing record. Chris returned to university in 2004 and is currently studying for his MSc in Computer Science. His wide-ranging interests include ice hockey, soccer, travel, wine, Vermeer paintings and World War I. |
