Andy Clayfield: Family Man, Fierce Competitor, and Cornhole Contender

From the heart of Ashby, Andy Clayfield is more than just a familiar face in the cornhole scene—he’s a proud family man, devoted to his wife Danielle and daughter Willow, and a key figure in his local community. As Contact Sales Manager for local sports facilities, Andy’s professional and personal lives are built around promoting and participating in grassroots sport.

A founding member of the Ashby Baggers, Andy brings a no-nonsense style to the boards, blending competitive grit with an unwavering sense of humour. Off the court, you’ll find him chasing down physical challenges—from intense gym sessions to the iconic Three Peaks Challenge, which he impressively completed in under 24 hours. And when the day’s work (or workout) is done? Andy is just as happy socialising over a well-earned pint, valuing camaraderie as much as competition.

But make no mistake—Clayfield is a serious contender when he steps onto the lanes. Known for his sharp tactical play, he uses a deceptively tough blocker and a consistent slide shot to edge out even the most seasoned opponents. Though he might not keep track of every stat or tournament placing, his performances are hard to forget—particularly his favourite match-ups against Ashby clubmate Tony Gavan.

As he eyes the upcoming UKCL Nationals, Andy’s ambition is clear: reach the podium. He’s battled through tight brackets before, and with his focus, fitness, and flair, a deep run in Tier 2 feels more likely than ever. Could this be the year Clayfield etches his name into the history books—and remembers exactly when he did it? Time will tell.
