Martin Puckett has a huge year in front of him, and they don’t come much bigger than a debut at the World Championships.

The 22-year-old is going to be a busy man over the next 12 months as he moves from one major tournament to another.

But for him, the most prestigious event is the World Indoor Championships, which start this Friday at Potters Resort in Norfolk.

Puckett, who plays indoors for Moonfleet and outdoors for Greenhill, is taking part in the competition for the first time after qualifying in Bournemouth last September.

While the worlds get underway later this week, Puckett begins his campaign next Monday when he meets former champion Greg Harlow (10am).

But that won’t be the last of the world number nine that Puckett will be seeing in 2015.

That is because Puckett is set to play for an England rink skipped by Harlow at the British Isles Senior International Series in March – that will also be Puckett’s debut for his country at senior level.

Looking forward to his year ahead, Puckett said: “The world singles is the most important one for me, then the senior international series.

“I played with Greg last year but I’ve never played against him.

“He has won the worlds once before and skipped for England for a long time.

“But I’ve got a lot of practice in and have been doing quite well so I’m going to give it a good go.

“I go into it with nothing to lose as I’m the underdog.

“I’ve done well enough to get there so I’ve got a chance.”

Meanwhile, Puckett’s reward for winning the Bowls England Outdoor National Under-25 Singles Championships at Leamington Spa back in August is a place at the British Isles Championships in Glasgow this June.

Before then the Weymouth star goes in the final stages of the Indoor National Champion of Champions event at Hayling Island later this month, and in February there is the British Isles Junior International Series, also in Glasgow.

“I want to keep moving up and up in bowls,” added Puckett.

“If I can I will come up against better players and learn from them.

“I’d like to go to the Commonwealth Games in four years’ time.”
