Teams of 'cops and robbers' have helped raised £2,000 for a West Cumbrian school.
A sponsored pool match and raffle, organised by Egremont Town Pool League, resulted in the cash being donated to Mayfield School, Whitehaven, for extracurricular activities and equipment.
The charity contest saw 13-aside teams of cops, led by captain Paul Edwards, and robbers, led by captain Darren Corlett, compete for bragging rights.
Bob Smith, of Egremont Town Pool League, said: "It was great to do something different and have a fun day. More and more people are joining and lots of people joined due to us raising money for Mayfield School. The robbers won 14-12!''
Various local businesses donated prizes included wine, a car valet and a hamper.
Sam Kidd, head of Mayfield School, said: "We are delighted and very grateful to receive the money raised by the match. It was lovely to think of everyone taking part to collect such a fantastic sum which will be used to provide exciting days out for the pupils as well as equipment to support them at school.''
