A GROUP of young sports fans are hoping to net a win in a regional tennis competition.
The pupils from Rise Carr Primary School, in Darlington, won the town heat of the Springs Health Tennis Challenge and are now heading for the second round.
The four boys and four girls will be playing at Tennis World, in Middlesbrough, on Friday against other schools from the south of County Durham.
The top four schools from this round will go forward to the final at the Puma Tennis Centre, Sunderland, where they will compete against the top schools from the north of the county.
A spokeswoman for the school said: "The pupils have done really well.
"This is a huge achievement for them and for the school and we have our fingers crossed for Friday."
