Disabled sports players battled it out at a tournament inspired by the Paralympics.
Five disabled clubs from across London and Hertfordshire took part in the event, organised by Elstree and Borehamwood Rotary club.
Games such as boccia, bowls and wheelchair table tennis were played at the Aspire Centre, in Brockley Hill, Stanmore, on Saturday.
Teams from Harrow Kingfishers Swimming, Ayelsbury Disabled, Slough Sports Association for Disabled, St Albans Swimming club and Ashiana all won medals.
Steve McLachlan, a member of Elstree and Borehamwood’s Rotary Club who helped organise the games, said: “It was a great success. Everyone had a good time and I am pleased with how much support we all got.
“We have had many accolades from those who took part so we are thrilled. We will definitely be repeating the event next year.”
