I "occasionally" write things about boxing.

Work previously featured in BoxingScene, National World and Trinity Mirror Group.

Terrible Snooker Enthusiast
Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding possibilities to contribute articles regarding snooker ? As I'm sat on some content .

Taking a sabbatical regarding boxing writing and need to focus on something new.

I don't need to be paid by the way.

I do love sparkly shoes and a Chinese dragon waistcoat. Snooker fashion is now a thing. #snooker #masters

Another day and another failing leader making batshit crazy decisions to save his own political skin.

Georgia and now South Korea. 2024 feels like the year of the "wannabe" dictator.

That was a great week of Snooker in York. A fantastic final between Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins.

A duel of skill, grit, patience and excellence served up on a platter.

Congratulations, Judd.

The rebel in me is admiring Brecel's refusal to use the fancy Taom chalk. Something endearing about seeing chalk marks in the green baize.

Just missing the ashtrays and cigarette smoke and we would be back in the 80's.

Personally, I prefer the Ding chalk. Same as Taom but cubed shaped.

Watching the Oliver Lines Vs Neil Robertson qualifier though my fingers. I am hoping my fellow Yorkshire man can get over the line. Has played remarkably well so far.

I am starting to get the itch to write again. I have written about boxing for over a decade however I am curious about exploring writing about snooker. It's a love which was rekindled during 2024.

Definitely something I'm hoping to do in 25 just for the love of writing and the interactions.
