Oscar Medd, an 12-year-old from Gilgandra, has big dreams of becoming a sports journalist. Inspired by the success of Coonamble-local journalist Alex Cullen, Oscar took a bold step toward his goal by reaching out to Alex through his mother’s Instagram account for advice.

Motivated by this invaluable advice, Oscar set his sights on making his first mark in the world of sports journalism. He approached The Gilgandra Weekly, the beloved local newspaper, with a proposal to write a weekly column that would delve into sports from around the world.

His upcoming columns will blend informative content with light-hearted anecdotes, ensuring that readers of all ages—from young sports fans to adults—can enjoy and learn something new.
With his enthusiasm for sports, Oscar hopes to inspire other young people to pursue their interests and embrace new challenges. As he embarks on this exciting journey, The Gilgandra Weekly will be the home of his growing sports writing career. Keep an eye out for his articles, as this budding sports journalist begins what promises to be a bright and promising adventure in the world of sports writing.
