A charity darts event at a Basingstoke club has raised nearly £700 for a good cause.

The Bobby Cole Memorial Darts Charity Event was held at the Wote Street Club on September 6 after a 10-year hiatus.

The event, founded in 1986 by the Cole brothers Jesse, Gilly, Alfie and Tommy, was set up in memory of their brother Bobby.

Jesse's son Jimbo ran the tournament from the mid-1990s to 2014, raising thousands of pounds for various causes.

They congratulated Rob Cullen for becoming the new champion and commiserated with Ray Greenwood, the runner-up.
