Colm Boohig

My name is Colm Boohig, from Ireland. To be fair, I am interested in lots that life has to offer but my most consistent love since I was a young’n has been sport and creative writing. If I wasn’t kicking a ball around I was trying my hardest to come across as interesting with a pen or a keyboard. This routine eventually landed me a gig as a sports reporter for the main newspaper in my home county of Cork, while I also got involved in the world of PR in Dublin, working as an assistant accounts executive. Having lived in Australia I was lucky enough to become involved with TAT and have steadily worked my way up in the last year. I don’t plan to stop progressing anytime soon. My main goal is to become creatively involved in the world of sport and entertainment on a daily basis, if only to justify the amount of time I have spent watching and reading up on the world of comedy and sport, and all that it has to offer! It is an ambition in which I am determined to achieve.

The win not only elevates the Fever to four points clear at the top of the Australian conference ladder, but they also retain the Challenge Trophy, which will next be on the line in round nine against the Wakaito/ Bay of Plenty Magic.
