Playing on Malta national team alongside her two daughters (Connie-Leigh and Rebecca) at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018, 7 Apr 2018)
Other sports:
Competed in dressage, winning several state titles. She trained her horses in Maltese to ensure that no one would understand what she was saying to them. (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Reason:
"My husband and family would play bowls every Christmas. I couldn't play, was hopeless. I began taking secret lessons so I could beat my husband. I used to coach the girls at netball, we're a very sporty family. They couldn't make the state rep team in netball, but had a better chance in lawn bowls, so we persevered with bowls and haven't looked back." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Ambition:
"Play for Malta. Ever since I picked up a bowl and found out that I could do that (represent Malta), that is all I've wanted to do." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Memorable:
"Playing with my girls at the Australian Open, there's nothing better. Being able to do that overrides any club achievement." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Hero:
Australian lawn bowler Ian SCHUBACK. "He's done it all and is so flamboyant. He's coached the girls for four years and he's only just started coaching me. His mental side is unbelievable. It's a mental game that wins and that's what I admire. He's done it all and is willing to divulge everything." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Influence:
Australian lawn bowler Julie KEEGAN. "Julie and her husband established the girls and I to go further. They encouraged us to play for Malta. Julie's been there offering support and advice. She's been there and done that, so the support is amazing." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
Ritual:
"Have a good night's rest, so no partying. I like to be organised. I have one pair of socks that I like to wear, but it's not the end if I don't have them. But I have to have a cloth. I can't bowl without a cloth." (Athlete, 16 Jun 2017)
