Tauranga is bringing home the accolades after winning the Open Fours at the 69th Summerset National Indoor Bowls Championships in Ashburton.

Grant L'Ami, Paul Smith, Mike Phipps and Lorraine Phipps, from South City Club Tauranga are amongst many who have won at the event which was hosted at the EA Networks Centre on Saturday.

The defeated Gary Low, Graham Low, Warwick Gray and Jan Low from Grasmere Southland competed against the Bay team in a very close and exciting final.

In the Masters Fours Mount Manganui was not as lucky, with Ton Kaan, Bryan Sobey, Bev Sobey and Georgina Black from Greenhithe Club, North Harbour, defeating Club Mount's Carl Jamieson, Terry Moffat, Marilyn Irvine and Jenny Hamilton in the final 14-6.

To reach the final L'Ami defeated Teri Anderson, Alex Reed, Colin Williams and Matthew Farquhar from the Te Atatu Club in Auckland 14-5 and Low defeated the defending champions Ashley Diamond, Paul Wright, Richard Caddy and Sheree Holmes from St Andrews Club, Waikato, 10-4.

The win marks L'Ami's thirteenth title, a record for Indoor Bowls, Mike Phipps's eleventh, Paul Smith's second and Lorraine Phipps's fourth.

The Robertson Cup for the Player of the Open Tournament was won by L'Ami.

The Rayner Trophy for the Player of the Masters Tournament was won by Mark Sheard from Ashburton MSA who won both the Singles and Triples Masters Titles and was third in the Masters Pairs. Sheard dedicated his win to his late mother.

The Patron's Cup was won by Ashburton.
