The annual match in aid of Rotherham Hospice — championed by Millers legend John Breckin — was won by Wickersley in the final over last month.

Funds continue to be tallied but have passed the £8,200 mark.

And Breck said: “At the end of the day, it’s for the hospice. Hopefully you don’t need it, but if you do need it, it’s there for you.

“It belongs to us people of Rotherham and we must keep it going.”
