DOZENS of people tried their hand at an innovative new sport.

There were all ages and abilities taking part in the wheelchair laser tag event at Itchen College in Southampton.

The sport, which was devised by disabled Hampshire man Gary Byrne, is a cross between paintballing and laser quest, designed for both disabled and able-bodied participants.

Gary, who has spina bifida, now hopes to continue the growth of the sport further, after hosting a series of successful pilot events across the county this year.
