A WEYMOUTH and Portland-based team triumphed at the Exeter Volleyball Challenge at the Riverside Leisure Centre.

Representing the Verne Prison on Portland and comprising the backbone of Wey-mouth League champions Budmouth, including 17-year-old England Beach Volleyball Development player Ryan Stout, the Arrows improved on last year’s fourth-placed finish by taking the overall honours.

They defeated Plymouth Mar-jons in the final by more than 25 points to claim the title in a tournament that featured regional and national-standard competitors.

The win adds to Budmouth’s growing achievements, which include a league title as well as three more tournament wins.
