Coffee Work supports a wheelchair basketball team. They have a game in Thornbury I'm going to this afternoon. It's pretty cool they support that

Wheelchair basketball is honestly super fun to watch.

Yep - up there with bicycle polo, also played in Northcote in the rink behind the Northcote Social Club.

It's fast and just as fun to watch as any other sport. People may discount it because the players are in wheelchairs but they're playing to win just like anyone
