The Motor Neurone Disease Association (MDNA) will benefit to the tune of £565 following a competition at City of Ely Bowls Club.
The George Piper Charity Triples event started in 1992 and attracted the usual high number of entries this year.
Twenty-four triples took part, the winners being the Bottisham team of Jim Carswell, Tony Wills and Albert Rank.
The competition is named after George Piper, a former club chairman who died of Motor Neurone Disease in 1998 after suffering for 18 years.
