45 teams consisting of 6 players each, battled it out at the Saffrons Sports Club grounds in Eastbourne over 4 evenings in June 2024 to raise money for charity.
EMC entered seven teams to take part in the second year’s tournament and this year, EMC Team No.5 which includes our award-winning Eastbourne Suzuki Sales Team, bowled over the rest of the competition including last year’s EMC winners, to score an impressive 311 points to win on the night and the whole week!
