Bowling enthusiasts are angry after vandals attacked their green for the second time in eight weeks causing hundreds of pounds of damage.

The damage at Frinton Bowls Club's premises at the playing field in Roydon Way was discovered yesterday.

Vandals had carved two-metre high initials RIDLA 4 CG and JR 4 KB into a ten-metre stretch of grass and a 20 metre wavy line.

A spokesman for the club said: "Members are absolutely appalled. They were almost in tears."

He said the club had been forced to cancel games because of the damage.

Anyone with information should call Walton police on 01255 851212.
