One member of the social club bowled over all opposition when he was the highest scoring player at the area's annual competition at Dagenham Leisure Park.
The event attracted eight teams from the Anglia/ Southeast region of 18 Plus and each side played two games.
Although Redbridge had to settle for second place overall, Chris Mann managed to edge just ahead of Lee Gillbert from Chelmsford to take the best individual players title.
The Chelmsford team was the best overall. Mr Mann said he was "delighted" to grab the top score, adding: "The event has been a very enjoyable afternoon and I am hoping to repeat my success in the pool competition in January."
