​A charity match at Worthing Pavilion Bowling Club has raised more than £1,500 for hospice care at St Barnabas House.

Mark Strong, club chairman, welcomed a touring party from the Dennyside Bowling Association led by its president, Mark Cohen, on on Monday, September 11.

Dennyside's 24 players triumphed by 108 shots to 95 but the club said the real winner was St Barnabas House, which has been providing care in Worthing for 50 years.

A table collection, raffle and predict-the-score contest yielded £1,401, which was topped up by Dennyside to £1,500. Well-filled charity jars further boosted the day's takings.

Richard Krupa, captain for the day, presented the cheque and thanked St Barnabas for all the wonderful care they give to people with life-limiting illnesses.
