Match Report

NWC Wheelchair


Old met young in the first day of Wales Rugby League’s new Invitational Wheelchair Rugby League when North Wales Crusaders beat Cardiff Blue Dragons 58-20 in the first-ever game.

Newcomers Cardiff held their more experienced opponents in the first half of this encounter and were only eight points down at the break. It was a famous first ever game for the capital side which also recorded the suspected youngest-ever scorer in Wheelchair RL history when Charlie Puddick, who turned only eight years old less than five months ago, went over in the second half. Alexander Martin scored two first-half tries for Cardiff, whilst Robert Carpenter scored a try and two goals.

Wales Rugby League’s oldest international player John Doyle, who turns 70 next month, scored a try in opposition to his young opponent. Lewis Lawrenson got a hat-trick of tries, Jakub Wasieczko scored twice, whilst Matthew Turner, Wyatt Jones, Jess Booth and Jack Atkins all went over for a lone Crusaders try each, with Atkins kicking nine goals.
