STAFF and councillors at Dudley Council have raised more than £900 for charities in their annual Mayor’s cricket match.
A team of council officers faced off against elected members at Amblecote's War Memorial Ground on Friday evening.
After a nail-biting match that ended with both teams level on runs, the council officers claimed a narrow victory in the deciding super over.
The match and prize raffle raised more than £900 for Black Country Toy Appeal, Tough Enough to Care and Macmillan Cancer Support - the Mayor of Dudley’s chosen charities for her term.
Councillor Sue Greenaway, Dudley's Mayor, said: "It was wonderful to see so many people from across the council coming together to have fun and raise money for three fantastic causes.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped to make the match possible and all those who donated to my chosen charities."
Stourbridge Cricket Club hosted the match, organised by Councillor Mohammed Hanif.
