The event, on Friday, August 26, saw 76 golfers take part in an afternoon of four-ball golf, with various companies sponsoring the holes.

Alfie’s Wish charity patron David Prutton hosted the event, whilst ex-Saints player Jason Dodd also took part and DJ David Hughes (Hughesboy) brought the evening to a close with a finale DJ set.

Ticket proceeds went towards the charity, to help children aged zero to 16 living with cancer make more memories by funding family days out.

The goodwill, support and hard work of both organisers and attendees reflects how valued, appreciated and important this charity is. It’s an absolute honour and a privilege to be their patron and I am excited to work with Alfie’s Wish on all fantastic future events.”
