Award-winning Journalism: Women's Rugby

My regional cap.

First XV article

I spent many years often as the only regular journalist covering women's rugby in the early days of the sport, and was the Press Officer for the inaugural Women's Rugby World Cup and the Women's Rugby Football Union. These specialist publications included:

Rugby World (my own column for six years)
Rugby News
First XV
Rothmans Year Book (seven years creaating an annual review combined with the statistics of the season across all playing standards)

I also played for Richmond WRFC in Surrey for seven searsons during which I was selected for the South East Region, trialed for Scotland, and was considered for England. I captained the Richmond 2nd Sevens Team but my career was ended by a catastrophic broken leg.

Peer recognition for my mostly unpaid/loss making work as a rugby writer.

Honoured to be inducted in November during the Women's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

My Hall of Fame cap. Inductee 157.
