Sharks secure NSW Plate Wheelchair premiership

The Sharks have been crowned the 2025 Wheelchair Rugby League NSW Plate premiers after a clinical 30-12 victory over the Bulldogs in Sunday’s grand final at Menai Indoor Sports Centre.

After falling short in four straight deciders, the Cronulla team secured a long-awaited title in dominant fashion by going through the competition undefeated.

Liam Moar bagged an important double for the Sharks, with captain Dan Friedrich – playing against his older brother Jacob – also etching his name on the scoresheet alongside Finn Moar and Louis Richards in a classy performance.

Friedrich received the coveted Spirit of the Game award.

Sharks Wheelchair coach Liam Luff, himself a Wheelaroos representative, was delighted with his team’s ability to execute when it counted.

“For this young team, who we’ve had for a long time, it means the world to finally get the big one,” Luff told Our Footy Team after the match.

“The whole season they’ve been building and chasing this, so they’ve got the job done and I’m incredibly proud of them. You didn’t want to say the words ‘perfect season’, but they pulled it off in the end! It’s been an incredible year.

“Some of the players are still 13, 14 (years old). With more experience and maturity on them, we’ve got a club coming in. Incredibly proud of the progress our young stars made and the guidance that our veterans showed them all the way

“The first of many (premierships) for some of these future Wheelaroos.”

Vinh Tran, Sharks Head of Community and Government Relations, offered his congratulations after cheering the team to victory from the sideline.

“The club is extremely proud of our Wheelchair Rugby League team’s efforts – to complete an undefeated season is a remarkable achievement,” Tran said.

“Wheelchair Rugby League shows the power of inclusion and innovation. We’re honoured to support the code and help provide a platform for amazing athletes.”

CRRL announce Wheelchair Rugby League Strategic Plan

Author : crrl.com.au

Canberra Region Rugby League has developed a 2022-2025 wheelchair rugby league strategic plan to lead the inclusion program in Canberra and surrounding regions, including southern NSW.

The plan was formed with the direction from the Canberra Region Wheelchair Rugby League (CRWRL) sub-committee, who steer the overall plan.

Throughout this process the CRWRL’s mission has been the primary focus, with the commitment to connect and educate the wider community of the physical, mental and social benefits of being involved in the wheelchair rugby league program.

In delivering this mission, we remain committed to our values of inclusion, integrity, respect, excellence and adaptability, which form the foundation of every decision we make.

This strategic plan, one of the first for our adaptive all-inclusive sport, is vital in ensuring the ongoing development and growth of wheelchair rugby league in Australia.

This overall plan provides the platform for the CRWRL program and its participants to recognise some major achievements for the adaptive sport in the region, whilst capitalising on the collaborative approach in which this strategy has been developed.

VISION

WE ARE ALL-INCLUSIVE
