"“I was just annoyed when I worked out all the rounding and I knew it would be 69 – which sucked, because it was so close – but I was also glad that at least I got a 2:1. For a while I didn’t think I’d even get that. I think because my disso just wasn’t that great it dragged my overall percentage down and I couldn’t fix that."
