Only getting to sit down a reflect on what was an amazing day not only for the club but for wheelchair basketball in Northern Ireland

With nothing between the teams all the games were very competitive and congratulations to the Bangor Bulls Wheelchair Basketball Club for winning the league trophy.

But for ourselves after a tough season with the huge loss of our coach, due to retirement, and players leaving we actually didn’t think we would finish the season but as a club and a team we stuck together put our heads down and finished up in the vase final and after a very close game with the SouthWest Storm WBC we can out on top 17-14. Not only as a player but as Chairman of the club too I've been honoured to help lead the team on.

Congratulations all teams for a fantastic season the improvement is there for all to see

See you all back for the 24/25 season
