The contest, organised by Doncaster Business for the Community (DB4C) and held at Doncaster Town Cricket Club, raised money for Aurora and 58th Doncaster Scout Group.

DB4C’s David Plant said: “I’ve had none-stop texts and emails from players, hospitality guests and stall holders saying how enjoyable and professional the event was.

“That is testament to the amount of hard work the team has put in over the last three months to get it off the ground.
