Woolridge has experienced every extreme boule emotion there is. The 2011 World Champion, who once held the Extreme Boule world in his hands, has seen his powers wain. 1st in 2011, 5th in 2012, 9th in 2013 - a public decline like that is hard to take. And yet here he is again, ready to face the mermaid cup –the ultimate extreme boule tournament. His win ratio puts him in the elite category, his career points total is untouchable. One thing is for sure, Woolridge will write his own script – and he hasn’t got time for any bit part roles.
Odds to be 2014 World Champion: 18 to 1
