AROUND £5,000 was raised for the Meningitis Trust when Bromsgrove Rovers Old Stars defeated Aston Villa Old Stars 2-0 at the Victoria Ground last Sunday.

Rob Shilvock and Chris Hanks were on target for the hosts in front of a crowd of 830.

Villa, who hit the post twice, fielded players such as Gordon Cowans and Tony Daley.

The game was organised by Dave Stephens from Rovers' Supporters Society.
