Match Report

Eng Wheelchair
The Final of the tournament took place between Wales and an unbeaten England, in front of a packed out crowd.

England started the game well, with an impressive first half hat trick from Ryan Richardson and a try from their co-captain James Simpson. These four tries gave England an 18-point lead.

Wales did reply with a solo try from Andrew Higgins, but further England tries from Martin Lane and Adam Barnett mean that the led Wales by 24 points at half time.

Wales didn't give up, though, and they outscored the English in the second half, taking the game to the sword, scoring three more tires, including one from Gavin Preece, as they clawed the gap back to 14 points.

But a late surge from England, including tries from Jodie Boyd-Ward and a second try of the game each from Lane and Barnett, meant that England retained the Four Nations trophy with a 52-26 win.
