Farnham Roller Hockey Club hosted a beginners' roller hockey tournament.

The event brought together satellite teams from across the area developed by Surrey & Hampshire Roller Skating Club.

Five teams played a series of short matches throughout the afternoon, with several contests ending in draws and many decided by a single goal.

For many of the players it was their first time playing structured matches.

The tournament is part of a monthly series aimed at building more teams and establishing a new southern league.

Farnham Roller Hockey Club chairman Adam Collis said: “We’re trying to build something that gives every child, no matter their starting point, a chance to fall in love with the sport.

“Days like this show what’s possible when parents work together.”
