He added: “We really are thrilled. Of course it has to be said that raising that sum of money the business community here must take some credit for that because we could not do it without them.”

And before the competition Digby joked: “We are not good enough win, but we are better at law than we are at bowling.”

Team entry was £30 and a £100 voucher for Cote restaurant and a £60 voucher for Bill’s were raffled off on the night.

Charlotte Thompson, of Freeman Brothers, won the voucher for Cote and a bunch of pink roses in the raffle.

She said: “It’s lovely. I don’t often win anything. I might take my boss [to Cote].”

And Mortgage Solutions and Wakefield Jewellers teams came joint second, scoring 451.
