A CRICKET match held in memory of a fan has helped to raise money for the Teesside Heart Foundation.
Businessman Les D'Souza died of a heart attack earlier this year, and his friends at Doghouse Cricket Club decided to hold a match in his honour.
The match raised more than £600 and a cheque for that amount was presented to the Heart Foundation yesterday.
Mr D'Souza's son, Paris, played in the charity match at Norton Cricket Club.
As well as the proceeds from the match, Doghouse CC, donated the proceeds of a raffle held at an earlier speakers' night dinner.
Mr D'Souza, who ran an import and export business, was also an entertainer and played in a number of bands.
The match is due to become an annual fundraiser for the Heart Foundation.
