BOURNEMOUTH Bears emerged victorious at a regional basketball event in Weymouth.
Division One winners from Dorset, Somerset, Solent and Exeter battled it out for top spot, with the Bears facing Torbay Tigers in a well-fought final.
Bears coach Liam Wyatt said: “The day featured dozens of players from the surrounding counties who we were really keen to match up against.
“Though we had a couple of close games, I was so pleased to see our lads go out and show what Dorset can do when tested.”
Event organiser and Dorset chairman Alex Fuhrmann added: “This was a fantastic day all round.
“From start to finish every single game was within a few baskets and showed the level we can produce at local level.”
