FIRMS challenged each other to a meeting with a difference as they battled it out at the bowling alley.

Teams faced each other at Hollywood Bowl on the Middlebrook Retail Park to raise money for Middlebrook's charity, Bolton Lads and Girls Club.

The charity bowling evening was organised by Middlebrook and Bolton Lads and Girls Club to give the friends of the charity a way to network and support the club.

The teams included Crompton Place Shopping Centre, Bentleys Accountants, Craftprint and UK Healthcare, but it was Edward Jones Investments that bowled to victory.

Tracy Cole from Craftprint also stole the show as best overall player, with a staggering 348 points.

The total raised was more than £500.

Heather Ingham, speaking on behalf of Middlebrook, said: "It is always great fun when we organise events such as this, and this was certainly no exception.

"Bowling to raise funds for our charity was a really fun way of local businesses coming together and getting involved to support a worthwhile cause that lies at the very heart of Bolton."
