Hide AdIt was held to raise funds for the Heartline family support group, which offered advice and help to families of young heart disease sufferers.
The pub’s ‘Cowgirls’ shot up and down the Fielders Park pitch to gain a respectable 11–4 victory over the ‘Cowboys’.
‘You would not believe where I have bruises,’ said the pub’s landlady Marion Hill after the action-packed match.
The event raised nearly £400 for the charity.
