"Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic to win ATP World Tour Finals title and seal world number one spot"
This article, from BBC sport, is covering the success of Andy Murray, tennis player, as he beat his opponent in a final game and became world number 2.
The article presents that Andy Murray is staying humble as he said "It's something I never expected". This can be seen as admirable because with success or fame, a lot of people seem to act superior. However, this world class sportsman has stayed true to himself and his supporters.
This article is a strong representation of regional and national identity. Andy Murray is Scottish, however, it is constantly being argued that "Andy Murray is only British when he wins". Implying that when he loses, England Ireland and Wales tend to remind the rest of the world that the tennis player is Scottish and not so related to them.

However, as he has now won the world champion title, Andy Murray has made Scotland and Britain extremely proud and therefore England Ireland and Wales will want to claim him and express correlations between themselves and him.

This is a useful story to use as a case study in your exam as you have mentioned it's significance with regional and national identity. To improve possibly proof read the work and hyper link your source to make it easier to access when you come back to look at it but otherwise a soundly analysed story.
