A Taunton memorial bowling tournament has raised more than £450 for charity.

The Stan Hedger Memorial Tournament, in honour of popular bowler Stan Hedger, was held at Taunton Deane Bowling Club on Sunday, February 16.

The event saw 18 local teams compete, with the Taunton Deane and Bridport teams advancing to the final.

Bridport came back from 4-0 down to draw 5-5, eventually winning in a tie-break.

Stan's wife, Jackie, daughter Charlotte, and granddaughter Megan presented the trophies to the winners and runners-up.

The day, sponsored by Stan's friend Alec James, also included a two-course lunch and afternoon tea.

The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Beacon Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital.

The club extended thanks to all participating teams and expressed eagerness to host the event again next year.
