A QUARTET from the home club were victorious as Colchester Indoor Bowls Club held their annual open tournament.

Daniel Roger, Liz Tunn, Elliot Mann and Dan Hughes came out victors at the event, sponsored by R Gwinnell & Sons.

They won after two very good games over seven ends, with entries from Ipswich, Clacton and Barking also joining in the all-day event.

The tournament, organised by Colchester IBC competition secretary Val McKillop, was split into two sections with games alternating every hour.

The top team from each section played off to finish winners and runner-ups and the second team in each section played off for third and fourth place.

Keith and Rene Jeffery and Len and Beverley Oakes were runners-up, ahead of Clacton's Joe and Marilyn Crane, Brian Hobbs and Oliver Theobald.

In fourth place were Stella and Jinx Utteridge and Isobel and Paul Morey.
