CHRIS Pearce of Bengeworth Lions dominated proceedings at the Evesham Journal sponsored Lower Divisions, Cadets and Over-60s tournament staged at Evesham High School.

In the Open Singles, Pearce overcame clubmate Dan Wood 11-8, 4-11, 11-8, 11-7 in the semi-finals to set up a final with another Bengeworth player David Hudson- Wood who got the better of Bengeworth Lion Rachael Sellick 11-8, 11-5, 11-8 in the other semi.

Pearce's controlled top-spin forehand drives proved too good in the final and an 11-5 11-9 11-8 scoreline was the result.
