A WALKING netball match in Sonning Common raised £1,600 for a cancer charity.
Amanda Watkins-Cooke organised the game at the village primary school on Saturday in memory of her father James who died, age 71, from mesothelioma on October 18 last year.
The teams were the Sonning Common walking netballers and a walking football team from Rotherfield United FC for which Mr Watkins used to play.
The netballers won 18-14 and were presented with the inaugural James Watkins Trophy after the
40-minute game.
The players and spectators donated money for Mesothelioma UK.
Mrs Watkins-Cooke, who plays for the walking netballers along with her mother Jean, said the match was “brilliant”.
