Last week Joel added: "I was pleased to finish the year on a high as I didn't feel the first half of
the season went as well as I had planned. I also had another good win the week
after in the Canterbury open, beating Oliver Pett (WR66) in the final."
Joel is looking positively towards the 2nd half of the season and will will play two tournaments in January as warm up for my 1st PSA tournament in Feb, which will take place in Belgium (the Move Open 16th-19th Feb).
