Despite the prevailing weather conditions, over 60 players competed in the 3rd annual Eels Cup competition with sunshine finally breaking out at around 3pm, hand-in-hand with the BBQ, outside bar and live music.

After 3 qualifying games, the best 8 pairs progressed through into the Main Quarter-Finals with the remaining 25 pairs contesting the Plate competition.

Having navigated through the knock-out stages the Main event was won by Andy Wilson & Tania Cowlin (Meadlands Stowmarket/Gt Finborough Chestnut Horse), beating Ian Ward (Meadlands) and Dan Cooper (British Sugar A) in the Main Final.

In the Plate Final, the recent 2014 Moules & Boules winners, Mark Adamson & Paddy Rosseau (Parrot & Punchbowl Aldringham) were triumphant over Alan Hatt (Eels Foot) and Ricky Talbot (Bromeswell Boules Club).
