Valiant Bears Wheelchair Rugby team lose out in final
Tuesday, October 1st 2019
Bristol Bears Wheelchair Rugby team put in a valiant display in the first round of the South West Development League, losing out in the final to a strong West Country Hawks side.
The first game against Team Solent Sharks saw a 19-14 defeat but saw the team gel nicely and blow off the early season cobwebs.
After a short turnaround, a defeat to West Country Hawks - containing Invictus Games athletes and GB squad members – followed, before a hard-fought 15-14 victory over Bournemouth Lions, thanks to two tries in the closing stages.
In the final against the Hawks, a spirited Bears display saw them lose 21-5, but earn a lot of plaudits for their performances on the day.
