The day, organised by Issy Vincent, raised around £850 for charity.

Chantal Bailey was tasked with nominating a suitable charity to be the recipient of this year’s ladies’ day and she chose Hope Against Cancer.

Chantal said: ““It was a privilege to be asked to nominate a charity.

“This is a small charity, so this will mean an awful lot to them.

“Although based in Leicester, it supports people in this area.”

Chantal continued: “It has been absolutely amazing to be here and support the club’s charity day.

“Their enthusiasm and commitment has been fantastic and I thank them all on behalf of Hope Against Cancer.”

Club member Roz Wallis added: “We would like to thank everyone who took part in the tournament.
