Archie Bruce

I reported on rugby league fans paying tribute to a young player who was found dead in his hotel room after his first professional match for Batley Bulldogs. A post-mortem examination found that twenty-year-old Archie Bruce died as a result of asphyxiation. Archie grew up playing at amateur club Dewsbury Moor, where fans gathered to remember him.

I did a live report for our main programme:

Ikea Bike

I've learnt that Ikea in Sheffield was supposed to build a half mile bike lane outside the store but because the planning approval conditions were so poorly written by the council they were unenforceable.

Sheffield United Women

I've been filming a story with Sheffield United Women who kick off their season away at Aston Villa on Sunday. They finished fifth last season in the Championship which is the second tier of the women's game and will be hoping to capitalise on the enthusiasm the nation showed for their sport during the women's World Cup this summer.
