Dodge Brings Beach to the River Festival

21st July 2008

Glasgow played host to two fun filled days of volleyball action as the second stop of the Dodge Urban Beach Tour kicked off alongside the city's annual river festival.

The lack of coast didn't prove a problem as over 200 tonnes of sand was used to create a beach court on the banks of the Clyde, which set the scene for some fast paced volleyball action.

In the weekend's entertainment, Scottish GB star Barry McGuigan and Graham Riddle aka ‘The Riddler', were the winners of the men's Urban Beach Elite tournament.

The women's tournament was won by Team Edinburgh star Melissa Coutts and her partner Eilidh Smith.
