HELLO, how’s your week been? Mine has been taken up with a raft of sport, from grassroots rugby and netball to Test match cricket via the Premier League, League Two and academy football.
 
As the heatwave continued, I raced from the very excellent North Herts Rugby and Netball Festival last Saturday — kudos to Hitchin women’s rugby side as well as Letchworth women for their various triumphs — to Arsenal v Leicester via selling the first issue of this season’s Gooner Fanzine.

To say it was hot was an understatement, so a big well done to all those who took part in such great-quality grassroots sport, I sweated profusely as the afternoon went on, and I was only flogging copies standing on the street.  

One of the most rewarding things about being a journalist is occasionally having the opportunity to spend time with aspiring journalists and photographers.
