A life-affirming day

HOW’S your week been? It’s been another hectic one for me.

Despite covering Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool at a raucous Ashburton Grove on Wednesday evening, not to mention Stevenage’s late night sacking of their latest manager, my highlight came earlier the same day.

Why? I was at Twickenham on Wednesday to report on the national schools cup finals. 

Full disclosure. My son attends one of the schools and many of his friends were involved in the game. As a local journalist for my day job, it would have been rude not to head over to the home of rugby. I was glad I did.
