UK Open Solihull Qualifier

[Thirdtimelucky]

Just thought I'd let you all know that the latest qualifier for Bolton is Simon Jones. Simon lives in Brum now but is originally from the IOM, hence his nickname The Manxman, He is a quality player who could do some damage at Bolton. Another interesting fact is that he's never played Super League or County level. I'm even more chuffed as he's a league team mate of mine. So you heard it here first, watch out for the Manxman at Bolton

Good to hear a genuine "pub qualifier" has made ith through to Bolton.

Will remember his name.

Best of luck Simon, enjoy the experience.

Mark, he left the IOM to go and live in Portugal but he moved back to the UK. He now lives in Birmingham as his wife is a Brummie. He played in the IOM open this year and was booked to go home for the TT in June but is now cancelling for Bolton. He has only started playing again for around 8 or 9 months but has won several opens around Brum.

Well good luck to him, hope he does well. I'll ask a few of the lads over here if any of them remember him.
