Andrea had the privilege of meeting the England Wheelchair Rugby League team at Morley Leisure centre. The Team were crowned European champions just last year and were training ahead of their opening Four Nations clash against Scotland. After the meeting Andrea was delighted to hear that they have just won the Four Nations tournament, beating Wales in the Final by 52 points to 26.
During the meeting Andrea had a fascinating conversation with Co-Captain James Simpson about some of the challenges facing Wheelchair Rugby League as a sport. He told her about the £70,000 they need to raise in order to travel to the World Cup in Australia next year. He also told her how expensive the bespoke wheelchairs are, often costing £3,000!
