One fire crew from Wellington was called to the Telford Tennis Centre this afternoon but fortunately it was a false alarm.

Tennis centre manager Jamie McLintock said the alarm activation was either down to an incredibly accurate shot – or youngsters playing a prank.

He said: "Possibly someone hit a very precise shot which hit a call point or kids put their head through the door and whacked it as a prank."
