Waterloo and Taunton Conservative Club in Ashton held their annual Tameside Glass Trophy Bowls Cup match on Sunday, to raise vital funds for Willow Wood Hospice.
Despite the soggy, wet, muddy bowling green, locals battled it out throughout the day to scoop the cup prize of the crown green bowls match.
Founded in 1891, the Waterloo and Taunton Conservative Club is a private gentleman’s club.
Club chairman Leon Tamcken said: “A huge thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser, which is now in its eighth year of being sponsored by Tameside Glass Ltd.
“I would also like to thank Rob Bailey, manager at Howarth Timber, the UK timbers merchants, Ashton, for their kind donation of wooden boards to get the crown green looking tip top for the event.”
Stephen Radcliffe scooped the cup after beating John McGhee in the final round.
Leon and club secretary Lyndon Watin presented the cup to winner Stephen.
He said: “We’re glad that the event was a success and a total of £320 could be raised for Willow Wood Hospice.”
Willow Wood Hospice provides specialist palliative care for patients with life-limiting illnesses, both cancer and non-cancer diagnoses.
