Commonwealth Games 2022: James MacSorley relishing rare opportunity with Team NI

James MacSorley has won wheelchair basketball world championships at U23 and senior level with Great Britain and returned from last year’s Paralympics with a bronze medal.

But with wheelchair basketball making its debut at this summer’s Commonwealth Games, the Belfast native has been given a rare opportunity to represent Team Northern Ireland on an international stage.

First up, however, a qualifying tournament with Scotland and Wales in Glasgow next weekend must be negotiated with one coveted place in Birmingham at stake.
