Ely City Hockey Club have hosted its annual hockey tournament, with fourteen teams across Cambridgeshire battling it out for the shield and plate.

Organisers have called the tournament "one of the best ever", with Winnington Park Hockey Club winning the tournament shield and Cambridge South's 'C'Horses' snatching the plate.

This year's tournament theme was 'Under the Sea', and most teams camped in Ely for the weekend and displayed some "fantastic" costumes at the Saturday night party in the clubhouse.

The sun shone through the weekend, and the Old Suttonians' inflatable lobster and shrimp costumes even made an appearance on the pitch on Sunday, with a first-ever goal being scored by a lobster in one game.
