​Organiser Paul Robinson said: “I was amazed how many players turned up on the first night of Pickleball.

"I couldn't believe it, players just kept arriving it was brilliant the whole night was fun and to see so many players all different standards play this new sport even though it has been around since the 1960s.

"It’s only just taken off in the last few years.”
