Organised by SCOTCH the Spotted Cow Organisation to Create Help the competition attracted a creditable 16 teams in spite of the poor weather, which caused a delayed start.

And with the last of the chestnuts lying smashed on the ground, the Woodpeckers, Tina Peck, Sharon Collins and Ryan Collins, emerged as this year's winners.

They took home the Chant Electrical Services Shield, a trophy and medals.

Runners-up were REG'S, Bruce McGowan, Katie Cruz and Jack Daley.

The Hardy Boys, Jordan Collins, Louie Espezel and William Clevett, won the plate competition for first round losers.

Around 1,250 was raised for the Chestnut Tree House children's hospice appeal, from entry fees, raffles, a barbecue and sponsorship from Alley Cats Cattery, Yeoman Group and the Spotted Cow.
