The winners of this year’s tournament were Ninja Skrtels, beating New Balance in the final. Players and supporters were all treated to a delicious barbecue, disco and prize-giving ceremony at the end of the day.

Rachel Brook, matron, was delighted to receive the £300 on behalf of Kipling Ward and said the children would be so pleased to have some new toys to play with during their stay at the hospital.

Rachel thanked Stewart and Brett for all their hard work organising the day and asked them to pass on her staff’s appreciation to all those that took part.
