The best ladies team was the Ladies Vice Squad which scored 107 points.

The total amount of money raised was £3,900.

The event was sponsored by Jeremy’s Restaurant, Orange Square, Mansell McTaggart, PS Homes, Gould and Company, Excel Financial Solutions and George Niblett.

Thirteen other businesses advertised in the program which also contributed to the final total raised.
