PDRL returned in April 2021 following an enforced 18-months absence due to the pandemic. Six teams have taken part in the 2021 competition, which saw a new format introduced to ensure as much Covid-secure activity as possible.
It was Wakefield’s second Grand Final in three years, while Warrington became the first PDRL Grand Final winners back in 2019.
Congratulations to @adamhillscomedy and @WarringtonRLFC on becoming 2021 PDRL Champions!

In 2018, Warrington were crowned the first club world champions after defeating South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-12 at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney. The club also featured in the UK’s first physical disability rugby league match at Victoria Park back in February 2018.
The first-ever Physical Disability Rugby League World Cup, an exhibition event, will be held during next year’s showpiece tournament – The Rugby League World Cup 2021.
