THE search for talented sporting youngsters to represent Torridge in this year's Devon Games to Inspire has begun — but there is still time to register to take part.

Trials for BMX tricks has begun, but Torridge is still on the lookout for youngsters in Years 5 to 11 to take part in cricket, netball, triathlon, high 5 netball, hockey, street sports, table tennis, tennis and volleyball.

All trials are free, sports kits are provided and the lucky ones who represent Torridge in Torbay at the event on July 14 will have free transport to and from the event on a team bus.

Torridge District Council's lead member for Health and Community Safety, Cllr Andy Boyd, said: 'The DGTI is a great opportunity for young people to experience the buzz of competing in a major sporting event.

'The atmosphere at previous events has been electric and representing the districts offers a fun and exciting chance to show off those sports skills. Budding young athletes should come along to the trials and have a go.'
