KAY Byrne, the ladies captain of Worcester Golf and Country Club, has presented a cheque for £1,423 to Tricia Cavell, St Richard's Hospice fund-raising manager.

The money was raised by holding raffles, competitions and other fund-raising events throughout the year.

Ms Cavell said: "We are very grateful to the ladies for raising such a wonderful amount towards our work caring for patients with cancer and other life-threatening illness."
