My Story - The Dorset Destroyers

Well if you want me to shut the fuck up about Wheelchair Rugby, you could always donate some money to the Club?

Great article that came out last week

Played wheelchair basketball last week, great fun, I thought my arms were gonna drop off afterwards.

It's a hard game to play

Then when you think you've got yourself fit, you start to play Wheelchair Rugby and hey presto you're totally unprepared for that bastard!!!

I like the no rules approach, ended up like demolition derby.

We've managed to get our 2nd Wheelchair Rugby Chair now and are heading for our 3rd - Can't wait to start playing. Just need another 14 and we've got enough for every player to play

Way to go

Who'd have thought it.....it's all coming together now.

Sunday February 1st 2015, the Dorset Destroyers becomes official and we start to train in Broadstone.

I've booked 10 weeks, we've got 4 wheelchairs and still need to buy another 16 (2 are borrowed) and we have loads of people who want to play or support us.

It's happening

[Hammersmith1982]

We've now got another 4 wheelchairs on order, so we will have 6 of our own, 2 more borrowed and maybe another 2 or 4 borrowed. Seems a long way since I started this off and now it's only 22 days till we start playing. Holy feck!!

What a day I've had. First we get a cheque for £500 from LV, then we get told we have had a grant application accepted for £3,500 and tonight we picked up a cheque from Poole Lions Club for £300.

That's one hell of a day.Enough money to buy another wheelchair.

We'll now have 7 of our own. Superb stuff
