Hi everybody, a very big thank you for all the kind comments. :)

With only 11 days to go to the big kick off. I just thought I would let You know, that all is not as quiet as it seems.

Like those ducks or swans, all may be calm on the surface, however underneath(or behind the scenes) there is a lot more going on than meets the eye.

We"re trying to gauge it so that Our enthusiasm peeks at the right time(ie 25th August onwards) and will give Our very best at Nottingham. We really would like to carry on in the fashion of the last twelve months.

Which brings me to handing out a Huge Thank You to "Rodders" who stepped in at Newcastle for me and did us Welsh folk very Proud. We are all endebted to him, and thanks for your full support again at Nottingham Rodders, we will see you at the bar......Hehe ;D

I would personally and openly like to Thank on behalf of Wales, Rudders, Dan and Dylan for taking up this challenge with me again this year.

I look forward to seeing all the other Welsh boys at DTD. Good luck in the all the other events, if we can emulate last year, Wales will remain a happy place. Just a reminder of what was achieved at last years championship by Welsh folk:

Main event, individual gold medal winner, and Silver medal winner. Plus 33rd place finisher.
Stud Silver medallist.
Heads up Bronze medal winner.
Omaha final tablist.
Horse medal bubble
Team event Gold Medalists.

Also throughout the Year,We had a Gold medal at Swansea,  we had three from four left at the final table for the £20,000 sponsorship deal, eventually going to Our fellow Welshman. Another Gold medal win in April for the only person to win two Apat Majors. Then Mr final table was at it again, and was so unlucky taking silver and almost becoming first to win two. Also the Home internationals brought us another Gold Medal finish for the Teams. Online brought us various top finishes also. Away from Apat, we have had some very strong results in the likes of the UKIPT, cashes and F.T"ers. Not to mention a certain body taking down a deepstack tourney at "The Venetian".  So you can see from the above, that my decision to play the same team @ DTD this year really was anything but  easy.

So I hope we all have a good championship, and would very much like to see new faces doing well, to add to the mix and make next years captain"s decision even harder...............Basically.......................


                                                          "Cymru am Byth"

Apolgies for any omissions of any other achievments throughout the year. 2010/11 really was the year of the Welsh. Having set the bar so high, it really will be difficult to repeat. Still we do have an abundance of talent and i hope we can continue. As stated, we do have some young raw talented players coming through. I personally would like to see a few more pushing this year aswel. So c"mon guys, you gotta be innit to win it.!!!

Good luck and best wishes

Paul Mac :)
