Council officers took on elected councillors in a great British game of skill to raise money for charity.

The Bromley Mayor's annual charity cricket match was held on Tugmutton Common, in Farnborough, and raised £300 for South Bromley Hospiscare.

The staff team won by 35 runs and Mayor John Holbrook presented captain David Jackman, from the Environmental Services Department, with the victor's trophy.

Councillors captain Cllr Tim Stevens said: "It was a good day and the important thing was the money raised.

"My predecessor as councillor for Farnborough died of cancer and South Bromley Hospiscare looked after him really well."
