Unsurprisingly we've got the Euros and Wimbledon front and centre, with Sam sticking to his passion for American sports, and Ellis ditches his Spurs pride to pick young Myles.


We also want to take a moment to send our thoughts and prayers to the family and loved ones of Diogo Jota and his brother after the devastating accident this week. May they rest in peace.


Curtis Campher

Irish cricketer

A place in the history books was set for Irish international cricketer Curtis Campher this week, as he became the first male player to take five wickets from five balls in a professional match. The 26-year-old Munster Reds all-rounder leading a collapse for the North-West Warriors from 87-5 to 88 all out.

Olivia Smith

Most expensive female footballer ever

Smith looks set become the first £1m player in women's football, with the forward expected to move from Liverpool to UWCL winners Arsenal. The Canadian joined the Reds for £200,000 in 2024, and the club look set to earn a huge return to reinvest into their squad.

James O’Connor

Australia and Leicester fly-half

After almost three years out of the Australia men’s national team setup, James O’Connor probably thought his chances of facing the British & Irish Lions were gone. But following his move to Leicester Tigers and an unfortunate injury elsewhere, he’s back in the squad, with a shot at joining the elite group of players to face the Lions in back-to-back series.

Amanda Anisimova

Wimbledon finalist

A year ago, she failed to qualify for the main draw, now she’s a Wimbledon finalist. What an incredible year for the American who overcame world number one Ayna Sabalenka to tee up her first Grand Slam final against Iga Swiatek.

Inactivity is quietly draining our economy, health system and communities. Sport England’s latest research is a wake-up call: equal access to sport and exercise could unlock £20 billion in savings and productivity gains for the UK. That’s not just a health issue, it’s an economic imperative. The data is compelling: For every £1 invested in grassroots sport, £4.38 is returned in savings and benefits. Grassroots sport contributes £36 billion annually to the economy and generates £14 billion in tax revenue. Yet inequalities persist. Those with disabilities, lower incomes, and black communities remain the least active. At New Reach, we believe the solution is clear: movement. Sport isn’t just about participation; it’s about inclusion, opportunity, and impact. Every mile run, every game played, every community initiative matters, not just for health, but for economic resilience and social cohesion. As the government prepares its Budget, the questions are: How do we make sport accessible for everyone? How do we turn participation into a national priority? Because the cost of doing nothing is too high. At New Reach, we help brands, rights holders, and organisations turn this challenge into opportunity. Through strategic PR, creative campaigns, and partnerships, we amplify the benefits of sport - driving participation, tackling inequalities, and delivering measurable impact for communities and the economy.
