Sporting & Dining Club event raises thousands for local charity

Prominent promoter Barry Hearn OBE was a special guest at the occasion

A recent event by the Sporting and Dining Club has raised thousands of pounds for a local cause.

The occasion - which featured prominent sports promoter Barry Hearn OBE - helped to generate £3654 for Naseem's Manx Brain Tumour Charity.

All the funds raised will go towards the charity's on-Island work supporting brain tumour sufferers with financial assistance and supporting information.

Mr Hearn - the founder and president of Matchroom Sport - is well-known for his work in the likes of snooker, darts and boxing as well as managing major names in those sports such as Anthony Joshua, Steve Davis and Chris Eubank.
