A DONATION from the Wooden Spoon Society competition, held at Heyrose Golf Club in July, to the Children With Leukaemia charity afforded Brian Yardley, the captain of Heyrose, an invitation to the Captains Cup tournament at Wentworth.

Partnered by Johnny Briggs, who plays Mike Baldwin in Coronation Street, Brian scooped second prize with an impressive score of 82 points, being pipped for the major prize by Gary Lineker and his team.

Brian has raised more than £3,000 for his nominated charities of Kidney Research and Children With Leukaemia in his year as captain. He said that he would like to thank all those who have helped in any way.
