ENGLAND’S premier volleyball players will be heading to Weston for a televised competition this weekend.

The Volleyball England Tour will roll into town on Saturday for a two-day event which will crown the national champions.

The event will take place on Clifton Sands, between the Tropicana and Royal Sands.

North Somerset Council has confirmed that Sky Sports will be screening some of the action.

Its executive member for tourism, Felicity Baker, said: “Weston beach provides the perfect location for this high profile event and we welcome the return of the tour.

“We would encourage people to come and watch and be inspired by these top players.”

There will also be opportunities for anyone interested to have a go for free.
