I found out yesterday that Ward has now moved back to Britain, based at the NTC.....interesting decision, the NTC facilities are much better but at the Equelite academy in Valencia he got to regularly train with Ferrero and Garcia-Lopez

Presumably at the NTC he'll be able to train with Murray and have access to the coaches (I don't know what the coaching is like at Equelite). Anyway, given Ward's results of the last few weeks it doesn't appear to have done him any harm!

Looks like another good week for Ward, and this decision to play in Indonesia for a few weeks is really looking like it is paying off in terms of ranking points. Hopefully he can go on and make the final here, as it is the one thing missing from this trip, and it can push him towards the top 500, which has to be his aim by the end of the year

Just noticed I've gone from All Time Great to "Hall of Fame" and would like to dedicate that progression to James Wards' ranking progression!
