Interests or interesting trivia about yourself or experiences: A long association with Llangwm rugby club has meant that Matthew has settled well into the Cricket club football side where the off-field 'crack' is considered to be at least half the reason for playing. Indeed his success on the field has really taken off since making the switch despite the fact that the Cricket Club has only won two trophies in 25 years!! As a teacher at Fenton Community school, Matthew runs sporting events and training for the children on a daily basis which accounts for his awesome physique. Matthew once had an entry in the Guinness book of records for consuming 78 live caterpillars in 90 seconds but this record has subsequently been beaten.
