I had my accident in July 2005 and also play tennis, swim weekly and take part in athletics but nothing compares to the excitement and adrenalin rush of wheelchair rugby.

JAMIE |
1.5 player (under review) |
| Hi, I'm Jamie and I joined the team in November 2007. I'm a 1.5 player under review. I had my accident in 2006 when I fell off my surf board and went head first into the sea bed, and had only been out of rehab for 4 months when I joined the team. Since then I have played in a league match at Caernarfon where I scored my first 4 goals. It's a fantastic sport to be involved in and I highly recommend it. I'm C6/7 incomplete tetraplegic. |

KEV |
2.5 player |
| I'm Kevin, I'm a 2.5 player, and I've been playing wheelchair rugby since the Dragons started. I had my accident in 1997 when I dived into the shallow end of a swimming pool so the moral of my story is only jump in the deep end! I swim regularly and play pool. I live in Wrexham and was very glad to here that someone had finally started a wheelchair rugby team in the area. |
