In all, 21 S1 to S3 pupils from South Ayrshire Secondary schools participated in a mini tennis tournament at Prestwick Tennis Centre on January 22, as part of the Competitive School Sport programme in South Ayrshire.

The venture was supported by SRUC Sports Coaching students and Coylton club coach Morris Thomson.

Pupils were split into round robin pools and the top player in each group entered the final pool to compete for the title.

Main prizewinners were: 1 Ross Bulloch (Kyle Academy); 2 Ryan Stribling (Belmont Academy); Fraser Reid (Kyle Academy).

The organisers would to thank everyone who competed in the event.
