RICHARD Huish College, in Taunton, has won the prestigious Colborne Trophy for the seventh year in a row.

The cup is presented to the South-West college that performs the best across a wide range of sports in the British Colleges Sports Competition.

John Palmer, competitive sports manager at the college, said: "We have now won this trophy for the last seven years, but there is a group of colleges who are determined to break our hold, and it is now up to next year's sportsmen and women to once again rise to the challenges set by their predecessors."

College principal, Dr Peter Avery added: "It has been a privilege to see our sportsmen and women perform so well at local, regional and national level."
