A new basketball club for wheelchair users has been launched in Pembrokeshire.
Members of the Pembrokeshire Hurricanes took to the court on Saturday 24th April.
The club is the first manual wheelchair sports club in the County.
Members welcomed Caerie Mackintosh, Chair of Pembrokeshire’s Lady Taverners, who presented them with five new basketball wheelchairs.
Angela Miles, Disability sport development officer for Sport Pembrokeshire, – the sports development arm of Pembrokeshire County council – said the club would be the first manual wheelchair sports club in the County.
“The new club is part of our aim to ensure that sport can be accessed by as many people as possible,” she said.
The new club will meet next on Saturday 8th May from 10am – 12 noon at Sir Thomas Picton Leisure Centre in Haverfordwest.
It’s open to all manual wheelchair users together with those with a physical disability who may wish to use a chair for sport.
