COLFOX Academy hosted a tremendous first round of the West Dorset Primary Schools tennis tournament with Bridport emerging as deserved winners .

The event, held for children in Years 3 and 4, benefitted from kind weather as the budding young players excelled in a superb competition.

The level of play was exceptionally high, culminating in some very high scores.

Bridport Primary School came first on 339 points with Parrett and Axe in second place some 47 points behind.

Both schools will now progress on to the next round to be held at Colfox again on Thursday, June 6 where they will compete against winners from Dorchester and Weymouth for a place at the Dorset School Games.
