Rhyl Raptors Wheelchair Sports Club

From Junior Sessions to the Commonwealth Games! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏀

​It feels like only yesterday Ana and Will were joining us for our Rhyl Raptors junior sessions, finding their feet on the court and putting in the hours.

​Now? They’re stepping out in the red of Cymru on the biggest stage at the Commonwealth Games!

​Everyone at the Raptors family couldn't be prouder to see two of our own alumni making it to this level. Proof of where hard work, dedication, and a great community can take you.

​Pob lwc, Ana and Will! We’re all behind you, go show them what you’re made of! 🔥

​

Congratulations 🎊 to both Anastasia Blease and Will Bishop on their respective selections to the Wales 3×3 team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

Join us in celebrating our very own #18 Steffan Williams, who has been named the Division 3 Player of the Week!

Steffan has been an absolute force on the court, consistently showing the drive, skill, and teamwork that the Rhyl Raptors are all about. His performance in recent matches has been vital to the team's progress, proving that hard work in training pays off when the lights are brightest.

Drop a "🦖" in the comments to show Steffan some love!

The Rhyl Raptors 2 concluded their Division 3 campaign with a display of pure determination, falling just short in a nail-biting 40-41 loss to the Lancaster Bulldogs WBC. In a game that truly lived up to the "final score" billing, the narrowest of margins separated the two sides when the final buzzer sounded.

Despite the sting of a one-point loss, Head Coach Dylan Roberts-Evans remained focused on the bigger picture and the immense journey the squad has taken this year.

"It's tough to end the season on such a close loss, but we were in the game until the end and played some great basketball. The difference between the start of this season is huge, and I'm so proud of everyone's progress."
