Hiya!
As most of you know, I play powerchair football for London based Aspire PFC- however if you don't know much about powerchair football, here's a little synopsis of the game!
"Powerchair football is a 4 a-side sport played in enhanced powerchair's on a indoor basketball court sized pitch. The sport is played by thousands around the world with regular regional, national and worldwide competitions. Powerchair football is one of the quickest growing sports with continuously new equipment and rules coming into the game all the time. One of the main rules of football is 'the offside rule', however, in powerchair football there is no offside rule- instead we have a 2 on 1 rule where only 1 player from each team can tackle the ball in a 3 metre radius at 1 time. Other than that, there's still throw ins, goal kicks, kick offs, corners and sadly yellow & red cards. The game is played in two 20 minute halves, the winning team from each game is whoever scores the most goals."
After reading that hopefully you have an idea of the game. In England, we have a governing body like The FA called The WFA, this organisation creates leagues & tournaments, helps develops clubs and much more. The WFA created the Premiership National League that me and my team compete in with 11 other teams. This season we've ben extremely successful in the national league - we won 20 games, drew 2 and lost 0.
This is a fantastic achievement! I'm so proud of myself and my team, we'd worked so hard throughout the season so this is an amazing reward.
WFA also run a FA Cup inspired trophy, so any club registered with the WFA can take part in this cup. The teams are drawn out of a hat then planned on a spread sheet for the rest of the competition. This year the final was held at St Georges Park (FA Training Headquarters). Of course Aspire were in the final against Northern Thunder PFC. At half time the score was 0-0. I was brought on and set up the winning goal!
So we are double champions this season! Next stop, Denmark!
Love ya! Xxx
