A GOLF match has helped to raise more than £3,000 for Bealey Hospital and Bury Hospice.

The wild and windy weather did not deter members of Bury and District Golf Association clubs taking part in the match at North Manchester Golf Club in September.

Each of the charities will receive £1,500.

After fierce competition, the overall winner on the day was Tony Griffiths, who is a member of Lowes Park Golf Club.
