Happy April, everyone. Hope you’ve all survived April Fools day. Who knew the Bloomsbury Sport’s ski trip to Holland was just a ruse?!

Starting this month, Bloomsbury Sport will be aiming to keep you up to date with the month’s upcoming sports events, with maybe the cheeky odd plug for some of our great sports titles. And it’s a bumper month to start with; April literally showers us with sports…
