Whitehaven v Newcastle Match Report
Match report for Cumbrian newspaper News & Star on Whitehaven’s 31-6 Round 9 Championship victory vs Newcastle Thunder.
I’m a Rugby League commentator and writer based in Whitehaven, West Cumbria. Currently I’m working for BBC Radio Cumbria mainly covering Whitehaven Rugby League in the Betfred Championship but have also provided coverage on Barrow Raiders & Workington Town as well as coverage on across Cumbria’s National Conference League sides.
I'm also currently working freelance for League Express and Newsquest providing match reports once again mainly covering Whitehaven Rugby League.
I’ve previously written for the now defunct League Weekly publication as well as Nothingbutleague.com, The Whitehaven Guide and provided match reports for Yorkshire Post and Rochdale Observer.
