Whitehall Secondary School staged the event thanks to the generous support of Councillor Frank Docherty, who himself took part in the action.
Scotland Development Manager Mark Senter was in attendance along with six other coaches to help support the event and assist the participants gain an understanding of the rules of the game.
Following the five hour session the participants were able to demonstrate they all clearly had developed the fundamental skills to play the game and played in a formal match for over 80 minutes.
The project's goals are to development and support a National Scottish Tag Rugby League Team, with the aim to represent Scotland in the planned Four Nations Tag Wheelchair Rugby League Competition, planned for summer 2012.
"It was extremely satisfying from both a coaching and observing roles that the Scottish players put their hearts and souls into the event" said Scotland Team Manager Adrian Kennedy.
"They have the passion and drive to become a national force to be reckoned with. They have the talent to create a national team to promote the game of Tag Wheelchair Rugby."
Further events are planned, along with organising regular training sessions at a central venue. For more information on becoming involved in the project, please contact:
