Trailblazers Powerchair Football Club in Antrim are the latest local sports team to benefit from the 2016 Topaz Cash for Clubs initiative.
Powerchair Football is the first competitive team sport designed and developed specifically for power wheelchair users. It sees two opposing teams of four compete in a game not dissimilar to soccer, which combines the skill of the wheelchair user with the speed and power of the chair as players attempt to score goals against the opposition.
