11/02/2024 Exhibition Wheelchair Rugby Match
PUKDS Wheelchair Rugby Club took to the court in the first ever Police UK Disability Sport event, in an exhibition wheelchair rugby match against the current UK Champions, the Leicester Tigers.
Over 150 tickets were sent out through the online advance booking system with more supporters turning up on the night.
We also trialed a polling app, where the crowd was able to vote for player of the match through a link on the Facebook Page. This was very successful with over half of the crowd taking part in the vote.
The match was also attended by Jane Hunt MP for Loughbrough, who presented each player with a medal and the player of the match trophy to our very own Eyan Naylor ( Team Captain).
The event also raised just over £150 from donations and merchandise on the night.
