As you know by now, our golden quest fell one game short, as the Kiwis overcame an early Canadian two-goal lead to win by two themselves, 31-29, in the Paralympic Gold Medal match in Athens. The Americans earned bronze in their 3rd place match versus the British team, winning 43-39.

Congrats to the Kiwis who have had a great string of success this past season dating back to the World Wheelchair Games in Nov-03, the Coloplast International in Jan-04, and the Demolition Derby in Feb-04. They launch into 1st place in the IWRF rankings, which have shaken up most of the top-8 standings, with the exception of ourselves, who remain ranked 2nd in the world with their Paralympic Games silver medal performance in Greece.

There are now a couple more photos from the rugby action, including a few shots of Whitey who was an impact player for our team throughout the tournament.
