“It was my privilege to join Clive Bassant (Community Liaison and Engagement Officer) in being invited to attend the Wheelchair Rugby, International match between England and Wales on 24th August at Christchurch Sports Centre and witness first hand how exciting and physical wheelchair rugby is.
All the attendees, whether they were players or spectators, were treated to a very competitive game that reinforced what an impact a wheelchair can have.

Congratulations have to go to the England team who won the tournament 6 matches to 1.”
