North East curling team came close to Championship glory
Northern Ice wheelchair curling team came close to championship glory as they were defeated in the 2017 British Open finals.
The championships took place near Glasgow consisting of six of the best wheelchair curler teams.
The North East team made it down to the final two in the competition to then lose to Team Scotland 7-3.
The Tyne & Wear runners up look to build on their narrow miss and have set their sights on competing at future major tournaments.
