Allied Mobility Wheelchair Rugby: Fours Premiership 2025

“While Saturday was a bit of a slow burner, teams hit their stride on Sunday, giving us some great games and a glimpse into how competitive the rest of the season will be. London, Cheltenham and Bulls all showed that they can compete with the top two for patches of the game, with more consistency and connection (and another high pointer for the Bulls) the games will be even closer.

It was exciting to see so many Pathway players get a chance to compete at this level, we believe competition is vital for players development and the premiership certainly stretches and challenges their skill set.”
