A man with Down's Syndrome is "living the dream" thanks to a rugby league for people with learning disabilities.
Organised by Rugby Football League, Super League and Widnes-based charity, Community Integrated Care, the Learning Disability Rugby League "gives people who have learning disabilities and autism the chance to play a specially adapted version of rugby league", enabling more than 200 people to play for clubs they love, like St Helens RFC and Warrington Wolves.
An image of Gareth Jones, 19, celebrating a try in front of almost 4,000 people during a match between Leigh Centurions and Widnes Vikings sparked praise for the league. Ste Jones, no relation, who took the photo, tweeted: "I choke up behind camera watching the stars of the LDRL playing the Great game. It's just pure joy from start to finish."
