00:00Yeah, it was probably the toughest game I've played, but as a player you've got to get over the line.
00:06Yeah, the last set, I don't know where I pulled it from. Obviously, a few 180s early on.
00:12Obviously, I went 1-0 up, which I really shouldn't have, and then the second set was my throw.
00:17I didn't do much about it, and then I just had to fight till the end.
00:21It's good to be back, leading up, the train journey down.
00:24I couldn't wait, but then I got on that stage, bottom's gone a bit nervous,
00:30but I just had to find it somewhere, and I know I've got it.
00:33That's what happened in the final set.
00:36Then, as soon as the question came, boom, tears in my eyes.
00:39What are you doing?
00:41Yeah, the fans were good then, but just a bit too much to try and speak on stage after that.
00:47Like I said, it's the worst game I've played.
00:50I might even be top with the first game in the Premier League in Cardiff against the Gunfries,
00:54because that was a nervy one, but I've never felt anything like that tonight.
