Journey

Steve started his own contesting journey at the age of 16 with Aveley & Newham before moving to Cardiff in 2008 to study under Dr Robert and David Childs. He also enjoyed a spell with Tongwynlais Temperance as well as maintaining a strong link to the Salvation Army before his move to Cory where he helped them to 17 major title successes.
