Clevedon Bowling Club's men claimed the Turnbull Cup after a tense battle with Ilminster in the final.

The match went down to the last end on the final two rinks, but Clevedon came out on top on their home turf by six shots.

They also won all five rinks in the Charity Shield to collect a cheque for £250 for the club's chosen charity Diabetes UK,

Ten clubs take part in the competition, each putting a rink of four at five venues.

And Clevedon claimed a clean sweep, as S Fallows, T Townsend, R Conybeare and D Brightman won 16-12 at Congresbury and B Squire, G Woods, P Branfield and N Pearce triumphed 16-11 at Clevedon.

J Tabor, S Lewis, F Ham and G Aldridge were 14-10 winners at Long Ashton, as S Thorne, J Franklin, J Brommage and C Pearce eased to a 20-7 win at Portishead and M Cole, P Battram, I Stocker and N Westlake had a 23-5 success at Isle of Wedmore.

"Clevedon would like to thank all the officials for organising the evening and Congresbury for being the hosts," said a club spokesperson.

"We look forward to hosting at Clevedon next year."

The club also received a cheque for £150 for finishing second in the Britannia Windows Evening League.
