Irish Wheelchair Rugby today officially announced the Irish team for the 2017 IWRF European A Wheelchair Rugby Championships. Seven players will make up the team, which will represent Ireland at the forthcoming Championships, to be held in Koblenz, Germany  from 24th June - 2nd July 2017.

Commenting on the announcement, Irish Wheelchair Rugby Chairman, Teresa Dineen, said “We wish the team the very best of luck. This is the beginning of a long journey for Irish Wheelchair Rugby to build towards qualifying for World Championship and Paralympic Games. This is a team of very talented players and this is a perfect opportunity for them to display their talent.”  

The team, captained by Alan Lynch, is looking forward to the challenge of this European A Championships and is looking to improve on their current European and World Rankings in the hope of qualifying for next years World Championships in Sydney, Australia.

The Irish Team comprises ten athletes, across a range of classifications:

0.5       Will Doggart                          Belfast, Co. Antrim                              Ulster Barbarians

0.5       John McCarthy                      Dunanway, Cork                                 Munster Crusaders

1.0       Alan Lynch (Captain)          Tallanstown, Co. Louth                       Gaelic Warriors

3.0       Stephen Aylmer                  Marino, Co. Dublin                               Gaelic Warriors

3.0       Jonathan Mullhall               Athy, Co. Kildare                                   Laois Lions

3.0       Alan Dineen                          Togher, Co. Cork                                  Munster Crusaders

3.0       Michael O'Hanlon               Co. Wexford                                          London Wheelchair Rugby - Crusaders

The cost of sending the team to these Championships will cost in excess of €20,000. Currently the Irish Wheelchair Rugby Team is not funded by the Irish Sports Council so we have launched a iDonate Campaign to assist us with raising the much need funds. Your support can really make a monumental difference to get us to the European Wheelchair Rugby A Championships and building towards our dream of World Championships and 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.

You can support the team by pledging your support at the following iDonate page: https://www.idonate.ie/register-donor-payment.html
