John Wells
At the Quarter-Final Liberty Trophy tie against Northants on 14th January 2012, John Wells, Hartlepool IBC, achieved the rare distinction of making 50 appearances for Durham County in that competition.
This is a difficult feat as the Competition is a knockout and a losing team will only manage one match a year. However John has been part of a Durham side which has been the most successful in the history of the competition. The County has won the Trophy 10 times and John has been in five finals.
In addition to his success with the County side he has won the EIBA National Champion of Champions Singles title in 2004 and the World Champion of Champions Singles in 2005.
The presentation of an inscribed cut glass decanter and glasses was made by Durham County IBA Vice-President Dave Roberts prior to the start of the match.
John is proud of his achievements and looks forward to
more success in the future.
