The Bridport Youth Football Club under 12s team has raised more than £700 - enabling them to take part in a tournament in Southampton.

The team held a sponsored dribble on St Mary's Playing Field to raise £600, which would cover their costs to take part in the tournament at St Mary's Stadium - the home stadium of Southampton FC.

They worked hard to dribble balls around the playing field for the equivalent of 70 miles, completing 15 laps each.

The team had great support and will be off to Southampton for the tournament this weekend.
