My Talking Rugby Union originally tied in with my work for Stockport [as they were in National Two North] as my match reports were used by Talking Rugby Union and were also published on the rugby club’s website. The match report were also published in the local paper; The Stockport Express each week. Alongside this work, I wrote feature and preview articles throughout the week for Stockport Rugby Club. I also interviewed the players and coach and I uploaded the interviews to Stockport Rugby’s official AudioBoom account [which I created.]
