When you are a sports-mad 15-year-old, you’ll want to try broadcasting…

A dream Men’s U17 World Cup debut for 🇮🇪 and it’s always a dream to commentate on any World Cup!
After first working with them on the 2024 Paris Olympics, great to be back with the talented team at HBS, this time on ten games for FIFA+ including THREE shoot-outs!

How does a Champions League football commentator write out the lineups?
I use different colours and formations to help map it out.
Bonus points if you can guess correctly what the different shorthand pink annotations mean!

2025 at @yorkshireccc.bsky.social meant a LOT!
From leading the white-ball Men’s and Women’s broadcasts to sharing the box with so many brilliant people.
So many on-field highlights and a great crew off it!
A special season, professionally and personally - a link to my grandad Ray Valente. ❤️🏏

Ethan Nwaneri is a STAR! This kid can PLAY!
The 18-year-old is a joy to watch, helping England go 5/5 in EURO 2027 qualifying, winning 4-0 in Slovakia.
Grateful to be trusted by the FA on England U21s commentary once again - their EUROS ‘three-peat’ is on!

BAD MEMORIES FOR ARSENAL AT BAYERN… A DIFFERENT STORY TONIGHT? A Pernille Harder hat-trick sunk Arsenal to a 5-2 loss at Bayern, one of the Gunners last games under Jonas Eidevall. Remarkable to think that was just over a year ago, and that under Renee Slegers WON the #UWCL! #football #Arsenal

Seems to be a bad ankle injury, leaving Bissouma visibly distressed.
It was his 1st competitive game since the final day of the last #PL season.
