SPORT PIECES

I have written pieces on a variety of different sports for numerous national publications, taking a range of topics and styles. Whether it's a light-hearted interview with a sportsman or pundit, a sideways or funny look at a particular sports topic dominating the news agenda or even an on-the-whistle match report, I can always deliver.

Below are just a few examples of my sports writing...
