Around 600 youngsters yesterday competed in the Parallel Games on the first day of a three-day sporting bonanza in Hampshire.

The Parallel Games are a dedicated event for young people with both learning and physical disabilities to get involved in sport and have an opportunity to compete.

Aldershot military sporting facilities hosted competitions in athletics, basketball (3v3 and skills), boccia, football (boys' football, girls' futsal and skills) and new age kurling.

The Hampshire Youth Games were taking place today at the same venue and the Hampshire Mini Games are staged there tomorrow.
