There’s a lot of smashing and crashing on One in Five this week as the mysteries of wheelchair rugby are explained. It’s not a sport for the fainthearted – apparently it used to be called Murder Ball – but that wasn’t popular with mothers  so the name was changed.  

One in Five’s also weaving its way through the crowds at the recent National Agricultural Fieldays  with farmer, paralympian and Wheelblacks coach Peter Martin.
