Pitch, Issue No.7

Pitch is a magazine for sports fans. All sports fans. And particularly all-sports fans. If this is you, then you’re already among friends.

We want to build a community around this magazine. Making it a place where we all opt in. A place where people are positive about their passions. And unafraid to tell their stories. A place where the sports we all follow, and how Pitch covers them, brings light and life to our lives. Serving as an oasis in what can in the day-to-day coverage of sports sometimes feel the ‘moaniest’ place on earth.

In this Issue:

There’s a good bit of football in this issue. Up front ‘The Great’ Paul Simpson covers off Harry Kane’s near total Germanic appeal, leaving ‘The Emerging’ Kieran Longworth to visit the Arsenal training ground in order to spend some time with England’s Lotte Wubben-Moy.

Elsewhere… There’s sport’s greatest ever events. The rise of the super shoe. The fall of marathon world records. Sugar Daddy Rugby, a bluffer’s guide to the Grand National, his ‘holiness’, King Roger Federer and to top it all off, sporting bread. Plus! Curling, golf, tennis, ping-pong, running, the Anglo-Italian Cup, and Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Plus! Plus! Our Young Sports Journalist Competition is up and running again. We are seeking well-argued articles from aspiring journos aged 14-21. Winning entries will be published online and printed in our Summer Issue.
