THREE teenage golfers have raised £400 for the British Heart Foundation.

Dale Smith, Shaun Townsend and Robert Dowson, all aged 15 and from Skelton, qualified for the regional final of the BHF Junior Golf Championship at Slaley Hall, in Northumberland.

Although they did not win, the trio, called Freeborough's Sweetest Strikers, raised money for the charity.

Dale's father, Shaun, said: "Dale's grandma is recovering after undergoing a heart bypass operation so he wanted to raise some money for heart patients.

"They did very well in the tournament and we're very proud of them."
