Ultimate players who’ve had the biggest impact on you:

Have to say Doc seeing as he was my coach when I started playing, watching him hammer in training was just majestic!

Funniest moment(s) with the team:

Cork Open was my first outdoor tournament and after ironmanning the whole tournament we got paired with UCC1 for our crossover. After scoring our only point I decided to go up for a disk with a massive American lad and nearly got my nose broken. Not nice at the time but pretty funny looking back at it.

Favourite tournament and why?

Gonna have to say Trinity Tea Party, just because it’s the first Ultim ate tournament I ever played. Didn’t have a clue what was going on but it was still serious craic!

What makes you so dangerous on the pitch?

Speed
