Up To Speed sports journalism student Joel Holt has earned himself some back-page leads covering a non-league team’s historic FA Cup run. Joel travelled to Grimsby for Salisbury City’s second round tie and saw the club win to reach the FA Cup Third Round for the first time in its history. This meant another trip for Joel to report from the press box at Bramall Lane, home of League One side Sheffield United on January 7. This was where Salisbury’s FA campaign ended. Joel was commissioned to cover the matches for the Salisbury Journal. Joel’s pieces were carried across several inside pages of the sports section as well as the back page of the paper.
