OFFICERS from a council will take on officers of the law in a charity golf match on Friday.

The annual tournament is one of a number of events taking place to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research, the nominated charity of Easington District Council's chairman, Bill Gustard.

The match will be at Hartlepool Golf Club, where 16 council employees will play against 16 police officers.

So far, Mr Gustard has raised more than £1,200 for the charity from events this year.
