Victory is a hoot for The Owl

Here’s how Richie Howson broke his duck in major finals.

The Rainham thrower’s walk-in music is Night Boat To Cairo by Madness.

George hails ‘deserved’ winner Howson

“As soon as he broke he was in command. Hhe didn’t make mistakes near the end.

“He’s been a finalist in a major three times but now he’s won one. He’s kept himself together.”

This is how victory feels!

Richie Howson’s mix of joy and relief says it all.

He’s just won the final at his fourth attempt – coming back strongly from 10-9 down to beat Andy Hamilton 13-10.
