A group of 56 children took part in the Cluster School Tennis Tournament at Cheddar Tennis Club.

The event had been cancelled for the last three years due to the Coronavirus pandemic which made it even more memorable.

And it was Cheddar A who won the tournament after beating Shipham A in the final by 32 points.

Cheddar were delighted with their performance and players were presented with individual medals and a team trophy.

Parents and teaching staff from Axbridge, Draycott & Rodney Stoke, Weare, Shipham and Cheddar first schools were thanked for their support, as were 20 Kings of Wessex pupils who assisted players with scoring during the event.

Tournament organiser and head coach Stephen Pearce said: “It was wonderful to see players representing their schools and showcasing their tennis talents."

Cheddar Tennis Club recently held an open day which attracted a good number of children and adults.

The friendly club welcomes new players with a choice of casual pay and play use of the courts at £6 per hour or several categories of full membership.

There is a comprehensive coaching programme of junior term-time activity and junior summer holiday coaching courses.
