Over 60 schoolchildren served up their best hand at the county’s tennis festival.
Children from seven primary schools battled it out in five competitions of singles matches at Llanelli Tennis Club, with Ysgol Dewi Sant winning three of them.
The teams of four consisted of Year 5 boys, girls and mixed and Year 6 boys and mixed from St Michael’s, Nantgaredig, Swiss Valley, Ffwrnes, Y Dderwen Schools and Ysgol y Castell.
Parents and staff volunteered to umpire and collect balls.
St Michael’s and Nantgaredig were the Year 5 boys and girls winners.
The council’s sport and leisure officer, Ali Discombe said: “Everyone had a great time showcasing their skills throughout the morning. There was a real sense of team spirit with everyone and clearly lots of fun was had.”
The winning teams will now go forward to the South Wales finals in Cardiff.
Lee Jones, Actif sport and leisure area manager said: “This event was a great opportunity to provide tennis players with competitive experience and all teams were of similar ability.”
A festival aimed at non competitive tennis for Year 3 and 4 schoolchildren is due to take place next month.
