Murderball: Head to Head with Australia’s Toughest Team

Murderball, or wheelchair rugby, is not for the fainthearted! It takes guts to spend 60 minutes playing a hard, fast, brutal game in reinforced steel chairs that smash against each other with animal ferocity. Small wonder there are so many injuries! Australia’s Ryley Batt, who was born with webbed hands and no legs, is one of the sport’s best players and his ambition has always been to make his team Number 1 in the world. But Murderball is more than just a game: the lives of the players and the stories they tell are the beating heart of this book. Courage against the odds, facing down life’s obstacles, and finding humour in difficult circumstances, are among the themes which dominate a raw and uncompromising narrative.
