On Sunday 20th October 2024, The Police UK Wheelchair Rugby Club took to the court in Guildford, Surrey against three clubs that they have so far not encountered.

Saracens, Brighton Buccaneers and Harlequins offered very different competition, each with many years experience in the national league across various divisions.

Saracens and PUKDS took the early wins in the group stages before meeting in their second match where the scoring was end to end in a match that was possibly a draw, had it not been for the final buzzer going a fraction of a second before Saracens carried the ball over the goal line.

PUKDS topped the group after the teams played each other, with Saracens finishing in second place, setting up a much anticipated re-match in the final.

Buccaneers and Harlequins faced off first in the 3rd and 4th place play-off, with Harlequins taking the win with a greater score difference than the previous group match.

To the final, and PUKDS made a few tactical changes, which proved to be too much for Saracens to handle. The defensive set up from the police team, provided a number of turn overs ending with scores on the board.

PUKDS lifted the tournament trophy, with our very own #6 Eyan Naylor being voted player of the tournament by all of the club coaches.

A fantastic day of wheelchair rugby, and we'll be setting more dates soon.
