About

I recently graduated with an English degree from Cambridge and have been looking at journalism among other things as I try to settle on a first full-time job. I have always loved sport, whether playing, watching or reading about it, so the chance to combine the two seems ideal! I shall enjoy contributing and reading whatever I end up doing with my life.

I have played, watched and enjoyed a huge variety of sports over the last 15 years, with cricket and rugby my all-round favourites. I have graced - or more often trampled across - the field of play in football, squash, tennis, badminton, ultimate frisbee, water polo, athletics and petanque, while I go TV-mad at Olympics time and hope my rare bouts of illness line up with the Winter Olympics or some snooker from the Crucible.

If you like my stories, have a look at my sports blog, launching September 2009: http://row-zed.blogspot.com/

My first syndication! Although they did mess the title up big time:

    Hey,

    It's a tiny bit late as it took longer than expected to write it, but my review of 2009 is finally here! Last year's one won the AOTD award and hopefully I've done enough on this one to equal that feat, but I'll leave you to be the judge of that!

    With 25 great moments from 12 different sports, and with everyone from Barcelona to France, the Yankees to the Lakers, and Usain Bolt to Tiger Woods there is something for everyone in this slideshow, plus a ranked top ten as the final slide!

    If you get a chance would you mind checking it out? Cheers!

    I've done an internship @ Goal & I'm on Bleacher as an editor (again, on an internship)...

    I actually work at the NHS on their management training scheme, but I also do a bit of work for Goal...I'll send you a message about that though...
