Wheelchair Rugby National League champions named

The Sunshine Coast clash of the Wheelchair Rugby National League final round was held at Caloundra Indoor Stadium from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 September.

In Division 1, the University of Queensland team defeated the Bond University in the final match, cementing UQ’s place as National League Champions for 2025. The final score was UQ 57 to Bond 46.

In Division 2, Melbourne University finished the weekend undefeated, winning against Box Hill – 41 to 25 – in the Division 2 final.

The weekend also saw the return of the Juniors Division of wheelchair rugby following its debut in Adelaide, providing an opportunity for juniors from across the country to come together to play the sport and learn from more experienced athletes.

The tournament also welcomed members from the Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby team, who continue their stay on the Sunshine Coast into next week for a training camp with the Australian National team – The Steelers – which will culminate in a one-off Test Match open to the public at 3pm on Thursday 25 September.
