James MacSorley
James MacSorley vividly recalls the day he first encountered the sport that would transform his life. His parents had taken him, then six, and seven-year-old sister Eimear to the Knights Wheelchair Basketball Club in Antrim. Both children had been born with spina bifida, a condition which allows them only partial use of their legs, and their parents hoped taking up the sport would help them to live life to the full.
It was hardly love at first sight for James though.
