RESIDENTS took on police and raised £152.49 in a cricket match for Treetops Hospice.

The match was held at Risley Cricket Ground , with police and PCSOs playing alongside the public.

Drinks and a barbecue were also available, with proceeds going to Treetops Hospice's Ripple Appeal, in aid of building a care centre.

PC Chris Gray said: "This extension would help Treetops treat hundreds more patients every year, dealing with illnesses such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and heart disease."
