Notorious. The trout killer of Kernow. He once played a boule game off a 100ft cliff. Or was it 400ft? Maybe 800ft? Burrows tip toes around the myths of the game, an inconsistent presence, a lurking owlman of the extreme boule world. His record is not worth a second glance. And yet... and yet.... It was actually 2460 ft and it was here  http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/982454 ... Maybe it’s time for myths to become reality.

Odds to be 2014 World Champion: 8 to 1
