THE Dorset Destroyers wheelchair rugby club are excited to make their debut in a competitive league this season.

The team, based in Poole but have a number of players from across the county, are set to make their debut in Super Series Division Three, with their first league outing set for December 11 in Newbury.

Founder member and club secretary Sue Coombs said: “It’s a great opportunity to get in there, see what it’s all about and see who we can beat!

“I can’t wait, it is what we have been working for and it’s a culmination of lots of training and lots of fun.

“It will be good to give them a taste of the current competition rather than just turning up on a Sunday for training.”

Included in the team is Grace McGowan, from Weymouth, who is hoping to represent Team GB in the sport at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

The team are always looking for new players to come along to training sessions, for more information, contact Sue on 07747 586006.
