MORE than 200 teams from across the south of England competed in Woodley Hammers' annual six-a-side tournament at the weekend.

The two-day event at Bulmershe School marked a special occasion this year as Hammers are celebrating their 40th anniversary.

And clubs from as far afield as Southampton, Sussex and Hertfordshire were bathed in sunshine as they joined in the celebrations.

Woodley Hammers provided teams in almost every age group while there were also sides from Bracknell, Sandhurst and Binfield.

The Under Nines kicked off the weekend on Saturday morning and were soon followed by the U7s, U11s and U13s.

The girls' teams also competed on the opening day, with ages ranging from U12 up to U18.

On Sunday it was the turn of the senior men and also the remaining boys' teams, including the U10s and the U12s.
