LIVERPOOL LIONS in touch with St Helens RLFC, whose foundation wanted to get involved with Wheelchair Rugby League. They Came on Board as our Shirts Sponsor and have actively promoted the club where they can. Thanks to a recent grant application, in September, we will add the Paralympic version of rugby also known as Murderball. This will make Liverpool Lions WRC the only club in the World to offer all Versions of the Sport.” The Role “The most Challenging aspect can be not having all players turn up at training. A challenge will be the constant looking for money pots to keep the club sustainable. With Hall hire costs, running repairs to the Wheelchairs and then travel costs to games, all this needs money. We have done very well with Grant applications recently, but we can never sit back on our laurels. The most rewarding part of my role is to get a new player in the squad and to see their potential. Then with encouragement and bringing them “under my wing”, watching them grow and develop as a player is a great feeling. We have had players arrive in the past, to develop very fast and go on to represent their county in the 2013 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup.” Since 2009, Impact have striven to become the leading suppliers of team wear apparel to sports teams world wide.
