HOW LONG HAVE YOU PLAYED FOR ANTRIM?
1st stint about 6 years. 2nd stint nearly 2 seasons.

MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?
Getting side stepped by Matt Dempster on Boxing Day and I say step in the loosest possible terms.

BEST PLAYER YOU HAVE PLAYED ALONGSIDE AT ANTRIM RFC?
Have to be the age defying slab of granite that is, Mr Richard Robinson… body on the line in every game.

FUNNIEST MOMENT AT THE CLUB?
Playing at Bangor for the thirds years ago fight broke out and Michael Lilley waded into sort it out and got levelled by the biggest player on the pitch! Everyone just took the piss out of him. Black eye and everything!

FAVE ALL-TIME INTERNATIONAL RUGBY STAR?
Tim Horan best centre in world rugby ever. Had it all. Excellent in attack and brutal in defence. Won 91 world cup practically on his own .

IF YOU COULD TRY ANY OTHER POSITION ON THE PITCH?
Played them all bar prop. I’ll never be stupid enough to prop.

A RANDOM FACT ABOUT YOURSELF?
Any row I’ve ever been in has been Dave McKees fault !
