Rounders tournament raises £8,000 for charity

An annual community event has raised thousands of pounds for a popular Island charity.

400 people making up 36 teams took part in The Children's Centre rounders tournament at Vagabonds Rugby Club in Douglas, raising £8,000 for the organisation.

PwC Isle of Man sponsored the occasion covering the costs of making it happen so all the proceeds from the competition can go directly to the charity.

Head of The Children's Centre, Joff Whitten, says it's testament to the efforts of everyone on the Isle of Man that they were able to host the tournament.
