A beach volleyball tournament staged by Poole-based MSP Capital has raised £5,000 for two hospice charities.
Ten teams from the Dorset business community did battle on Bournemouth beach in the firm’s first-ever such event.

At the end of a keenly-contested series held across two courts, the winners were Bournemouth IT consultancy QuoStar.
They saw off the challenge of six-a-side teams representing MSP Capital, NatWest, AFC Bournemouth, asset management firm Ridge, estate agents Frost & Co, lawyers Ellis Jones, accountants Saffery Champness, internet marketing specialists Uprated and office rental agency Venaspace.

Among the spectators cheering on their favourites were AFC Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore and ex-Cherries forward Steve Fletcher who also presented the winners’ trophy.
The £5,000 raised from the competition has been split evenly between charities Julia’s House and Lewis-Manning Hospice.
