Wisbech St Mary C triumphed in the Under 13 age group after a tight battle with stablemates Wisbech St Mary A to ensure the home club got their share of the plaudits.

Tournament secretary Sue Dighton said: "The event just seems to get bigger and better every year and this time round we had a record number of entries which is just fantastic.

"It has taken us six whole months planning to ensure everything went without a hitch and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did.
