#ATPGym

Weeks and weeks ago I became privy to Andy Titterrall's Performance Gym at Trafford MV Rugby Club. The gym is held on a Monday night and for the sum of £5 you can train like a rugby player.

Sale Sharks v Saracens

Finally got there.

Almost a year ago I asked Sale Sharks if I could edit some stock footage of the boys training, just for something to do.

Yesterday, I was allowed to film and edit this at Carrington.

 

I also filmed an interview with Rob Miller and Steve Scott, which will soon be on the Sale Sharks youtube channel. I'm lucky enough to now put in my job title "Sale Sharks Videographer". 

Happy Jen :) 

Guess which camera is mine.

Never Pass up the opportunity to be in a Line Out

Why?.... Because it's so much fun!

Curtain Opener

So last night was the curtain raiser for Sale Sharks at their new home, Salford City Stadium. And what is a christening without a little water? Or in this case a shed load. The heavens started to open as soon as I opened the door to go to Barton and it didn't stop all night. Hey it's Salford. I'm used to it. Pac a Mac didn't stay in the back pack for this match.

Please dont be jealous....

Always a good idea to attend an open training session :) 

Massive thanks to Emma and Emma's Dad for instigating these photos :) 

Brand Spanking New Website

Sale Sharks has got a brand new website. Personally, I think this has been a long time coming and the new site does not disappoint. 

The Edge

My Olympics 2012

Well... THAT was one hell of a show. And I throughly enjoyed it! Just wish I had been in London :/

Behind the Scenes Chat No 3: Steve Hanley

Fellow Cumbrian and all round nice guy Steve Hanley answered a couple of questions.

I had a quiet Saturday afternoon...

.... so I did this:

#FarewellEP at the 7s

Well Done Workington

Yeah it's in the back of beyond. The place that time forgot. (I can say that, I grew up there)

But not next year. Next year is Rugby League World Cup year and Workington has successfully got their foot in the door and will be hosting the Scotland games after Whitehaven put the kibosh on their own hosting dreams.

Well Done Workington and @WorkingtonTown!

#BoshLegends

Saturday afternoon...lovely day, what to do? 

How about a drive to Lymm RFC to watch some charity rugby?

So I did.

 

#SharksInTheCity

Friday 13th usually makes you think of bad luck and a excuse to watch horror films. Not this one. The only bad luck today was the drizzly weather, which, when you consider that you are in Manchester and drizzle is generally a daily feature, you couldn't let it put a dampener on the day. And why was it a good day? Well, Sale Sharks were in Manchester City Centre for their launch of their new kit in Spinningfields. And I, naturally (hey its Rugby!)  was there.

The League Bug is Growing

On a side note...

I GOT A TICKET TO THE 
SCOTLAND V NEW ZEALAND MATCH 
IN NOVEMBER! 

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

More of this please:)

Thanks to @Mckjerral who waited about 40minutes on hold to buy ours :) Superstar!

Behind the Scenes Chat No.2: Andy Stevens

Andy Stevens in the Marketing Manager at Sale Sharks. Being the top bloke that he is, he agreed to answer a couple of questions.

Book Cover

Everyone judges a book by it's cover. I know you're not suppose to, but its hard not to. Like they say, first impressions count.

Same with people. 

Cumbria and the Rugby League World Cup

At the heart of me I'm Union, however I am kindling the embers of love towards Rugby League.

Twitter

One of my favourite things at the moment, is Twitter. Twitter has allowed me up to connect with a huge amount of new and interesting people.

Congratulations Scotland!

The best way to start a day, is seeing a tweet like this! Massive congratulations to the Scotland team. A lot of hard work went into those wins under hard conditions. Bring on the Autumn Tests!

You gotta love youtube. Thank you Samoa Tourism. Here is the match.

Day Job

Here is an interview that I did for the Discouture blog about my day job.

Behind the scenes chat No.1 with Angela Traynor

Angela Traynor is the Tickets Sales Assistant and Retail Assistant at Sale Sharks. She was kind enough to give a email interview.

Give it some welly!

I wish Nigel was my Personal Trainer

...because how on earth could you fob him off with "Yeah Nigel! I've done my 100 push ups" when you only did 2 then collapsed! You would definitely get fit!

Crouch, touch, set!

Gone are the days of my Jean Luc Picard impression when there was a scrum.
"Engage" is no more. Well, for a trail period at least.

No bad thing really, looking at all the time wasted over the scrum. 
This is what Paul Morgan had to say on the matter.

Luna on the Moon

Coming home from work today was a bit like Christmas. Because awaiting me in my post box and a package from Kirsty Pate. I met Kirsty through a mutual friend and she is the most interesting, fun character I've met in a long time! She makes unique, quirky, glitzy jewellery. Click her to have a perusal of her collection. 
She made my fascinator our friends wedding: 

 

An epic November awaits

Not only is November my birthday month, but I also plan to go to America's West coast AND go up to Edinburgh for a 4th time this year to watch the Scotland EMC Autumn test against New Zealand.

If you need me, you'll know where I'll be

Summer Test... mini rant...

Oh dear.... England, Ireland and Wales have yet to gain a win for the Northern Hemisphere. What are we to do?! We have no hope... NOTHING!!!!!!

The Epic Documentary of Scotland v France

Wales v Scotland 6 Nations 2012

S'long EP

Scotland v England 6 Nations 2012

One can hope that Scotland would win... but they didn't :/

Salford City Stadium

Sale Sharks are moving from Edgeley Park to Salford City Stadium for the start of the 2013-13 season to share it with Salford Reds and I couldn't be happier.

If you dont ask! You dont get!

Sale Sharks (@salesharksrugby) have been very good to me.

They gave me the opportunity to contribute to the online material for the Sale Sharks youtube channel.

Editing to Music

Before I was a Remedial Massage Therapist, I was an aspiring film maker. What I love doing the most is editing footage to music. This was my first Scotland video:

Abseiling in Murrayfield

Did a bit of fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis this April, so I could do an abseil at Murrayfield.
I raised £230 :)

Me and the Egg Shaped Ball

I started to have an interest in Rugby when I was about 16. I was on holiday with my family and whilst they were ordering drinks in this bar, I (as per usual) had my eyes glued to the telly box. I was riveted. Rugby was on.
