A DORSET wheelchair rugby team will be showing off their skills when they appear on BBC One's Eat Well for Less.

The Dorset Destroyers were invited by TV company RDF Television to take part in the show, and try out a food product, with their efforts being shown during a segment on the programme at 8pm tomorrow.

Co-founder, chairman and player Nick Coombs said: "RDF Television approached us in July 2017 asking if we’d be interested in doing some filming at the end of August. We turned them down because we we’d still be on our holidays, but they came back to us and were even more interested when I told them that Sue and I had run our own catering company.

"Eventually we folded and said 'yes we’ll do it', so opened the club up earlier. It was a great experience, but long and drawn out. It started at 11am until 5pm, and on top of that we were playing wheelchair rugby for three hours as part of the filming."

Nick used to create his own preserves with wife Sue , the team's co-founder, club secretary and coach and has run The Dorset Destroyers for the last four years.

During that time the team has played against the Invictus Team, played with Jonny Wilkinson and this year is the only club in the UK which is unbeaten in the league.

Having won eight matches out of eight and now heading to Division 1 in September for the deciding round to be named as Division Champions, it is all to play for in the final matches at Stoke Mandeville Stadium on September 2.

This Sunday The Dorset Destroyers play a friendly against Endeavour Hawks at Rossmore Leisure Centre in Herbert Avenue, Poole from 11.30am. Entry is free.
