Varsity

Monday December 12 2016, 10:26pm

With so much sport going on in Cambridge, it can be no surprise that the Varsity Sport team is always busy. We cover everything from rugby to modern pentathlon to karate – and everything in between – so it is crucial that we have a strong team of reporters in place, who are enthusiastic about sport and willing to get stuck into pretty much anything.

And that’s exactly what we’re looking for now. If you’d like to get involved, apply now to be Sport Reporter for Varsity. No experience required – just a passion for all things sporting. This is a fantastic opportunity for any sports fan to go to lots of matches and write about their favourite sports – plus lots of others, too!

To apply: send 200 words about yourself, your experience and why you’d like to be a Sport Reporter, plus a sample match report (no more than 900 words, on any sport), to applications@varsity.co.uk, by 5pm, Thursday 15th December.

If you have any questions about the role or the application process, please email editor@varsity.co.uk

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
