DAVID Kempen and Rick Brogan became the new holders of the Constable League’s blind pairs competition and won the Gladys Beecroft and Peggy Collins Memorial Charity Cup.

They defeated Mick Chambers and Steven Ball 3-1 in a keenly-contested final of the competition, which was sponsored by Wilf Sadler, of Manningtree.

Fifty-six people took part. Bob Beecroft and Peter Collins and their families thanked Foxash Social Club for hosting the event.

Thanks were also given to Steve Sadler, Karen and Jade Poulter for organising the raffle and everyone who donated prizes.

A total of £230 was raised for the local Guide Dogs for the Blind fund.
