South West Sports News promoting regional sport

Passionate about sport? So are we! That is why sports journalist Ross Reid started South West Sports News in Spring 2008.

Our word-of-mouth, eco-friendly green game plan is to support sportspeople from the tip of South West England to the top of South Wales, young and old, male and female, grassroots participants to Olympians and Paralympians.

We are a pro-active team with one goal: winning promotion for regional sport.
