Wheelchair rugby, formally known as 'Murderball' is a team sport played by athletes with a physical disability. It is a sport like no other and has elements from a number of different sports including Basketball, Handball and Ice Hockey. It is a contact sport and physical contact between rugby chairs is an integral part of the game.
London Wheelchair Rugby Club (LWRC) is based in Stanmore, and caters for adults and children 16 and over with a spinal cord injury or physical disability/upper limb disability.
We aim to provide opportunities through wheelchair rugby for disabled people at a social level all the way up to Paralympic glory. By being one club with many teams, we can provide suitable levels of competition for our diverse range of players. In the domestic league we boast the Storm and Crusaders. Internationally, the London Lions have won the Europa Cup five times as well as enjoying many other successes.
