Three years ago I was forty... forty! Four-oh! That slipped out. Now I suddenly feel as if I've taken all my clothes off.

It wasn't the shoes. I just slipped three or four times so I needed some more grip.

I was working as a builder in Colchester three or four years ago — a construction worker as you'd put it. Basically, the building work was feeding my habit of darts, earning me a wage when I couldn't quite make it. On weekends I'd go to tournaments and started getting a little better until I had a decent sponsorship. I concentrated fully on darts two and a half years ago.

I'm fresh after the break, I'm probably back to what I was three years or four years ago.

We slipped up in going down at Ulster a week ago ... but that can be a spur to players who need to go out now and prove themselves capable of competing which I think we are.

I would have taken a one-for-three or a one-for-four and win the game. That's what it's about. We just didn't find a break where we could score and get a bunch of hits early against Armas. ... (The wins) are what you play for.
