ANYONE for tennis?

That cry has been met with a huge verbal volley of yes' at Eastleigh's Crestwood After School Club.

And now the youngsters have had a big boost to their hopes of following in the footsteps of their Wimbledon tennis heroes.

For they can sharpen up their skills with free tennis equipment awarded by national charity 4Children and the Nestle Trust through the Nestle Kids' Club Tennis Scheme.

The Crestwood club beat off competition from hundreds of others to be one of only 55 clubs to get the equipment, worth £250.

Each tennis kit contains rackets suitable for different age groups, a variety of tennis balls for varying abilities, colourful cones and markers.
