Seend were victorious in a hotly-contested fight for the Warman's Holidays Short Mat Bowls Trophy.

Teams from 10 different counties, including 15 from Wiltshire, took part in the Open 4s competition. They were drawn into eight groups and played five games each.

A Melksham and Shaw bowls club trio lost out in the final of the Wiltshire Short Mat bowls triples at Lackham College on Sunday.

The Snook family, Steve, Christine and son Wayne, were in great form to reach the final but they could not maintain their momentum as they crashed out 10-2 to a team from Crudwell.

The event attracted 22 entries from 16 different clubs to compete for the fifth time in the competition's history.
