The lads also raised cash from organising football cards and raffles.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on improving access to care, research and campaigning for people living with or affected by MND.

Earlier, snooker players from the Steelworks club made a sweet donation of chocolate to the chemotherapy ward at the University Hospital of Hartlepool.

The club raised money from football cards and a raffle to buy around 30 boxes of chocolates and other treats for patients and staff to enjoy over Christmas.

Dwane Douglas and Brian Minton from the club presented them to grateful nurses on the ward.
