Britain were crowned European champions for a seventh time after withstanding a challenge from hosts Denmark.

It was a third successive title for Britain, winning 55-45 in the gold medal match in Vejle, known as the capital of Para-sport.

France took the bronze medal after a thrilling 45-43 triumph against Sweden in overtime at DGI Huset Vejle.

"The competitions have been fantastic," Allcroft said.

"The venue and the hotel has worked perfectly and the Organising Committee have done a fantastic job together with strong, genuine partners, who made this a success.

"The Municipality of Vejle are so dedicated about Para-sport and have been dressing the city in wheelchair rugby. 

"The competitions have been fantastic with an amazing crowd for almost every game."

Denmark and Britain qualified for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo by reaching the final.

The semi-finals saw the Danes upset world number six ranked France 53-49 and Britain beat Sweden 53-34.

"Many would have expected Great Britain and France in the final," added Allcroft, who is hopeful of bringing wheelchair rugby back to the city of Vejle in the not too distant future.

"[The semi-finals] were in many ways the final, particularly for Denmark, for the first time qualifying to a Paralympics in wheelchair rugby, which must be huge for the team."

Parasport Denmark President John Petersson paid tribute to all involved.

"Hosting the IWRF Wheelchair Rugby European Championship has been a great experience for Parasport Denmark," he said.

"Together with our great partners, the municipality of Vejle and Sport Event Denmark, and with support from the IWRF, we have done everything in our power to make this event the best Championship to date and clearly demonstrate our passion for the sport of wheelchair rugby."

Sport Event Denmark partnered the event and chief executive Lars Lundov was full of praise for the organisers.

"It has been a memorable IWRF Wheelchair Rugby European Championship with great matches and excellent spectator support at the venue and online," he said.

"This is the fourth time Denmark has hosted a wheelchair rugby championship, and it has been a pleasant experience with Denmark in the final and a qualification for the Paralympics."
