Lexden Rackets and Fitness Club held their first Graded Racketball Tournament on Sunday 17th November, with players coming from Ipswich, Maldon, Bishop Stortford and Rayliegh to Colchester to play.

All levels of player had the chance to play across the different grades, where local Lexden lad Joel Braddock won the A Grade by beating Steve Snelling in a closely fought battle in the final.
