I have played for various teams over the years, I played regularly for Ulverston A and for Barrow A, mostly. Ulverston A was in the 2nd Division while Barrow A are always in the first Division. But the best position in the Cumbria 1st Division I have finished as a team was 3rd with Ulverston A in around the 1994-95 season, I played board 3 I think, and I have bettered that recently having finished 2nd in the 2013-2014 season and also 2014-2015 season with Barrow A, playing board 4. In 2019-2020 we finished 2nd just after i made the vital mistake in a won game allowing immediate checkmate by Gary Sharkey and 2nd in 2021-2022 season both of which i played board 3.

I have rarely played board 1 in the 1st Division but regularly played board 1 in Whitaker Cup and in the 2nd Division.

I have five times got through to a Whitaker Cup final and all times the team has lost apart from once in 2019, we lost once with Ulverston in around 1994 and another time a few years back with Barrow 1 i.e. season 2010-2011. but Barrow 2 have also won without me playing in 2013.
