A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along to our Barrington Cup Tournament! 🏆❤️

🥇 Congratulations to our winner, Dave Frankum!
🥈 And runner-up, Simon Coate!

The day was all about coming together in honour and memory of Mr Barrington, and it’s amazing that along the way we raised £135 for Asthma & Lung UK! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who played, donated, supported and helped make the day such a lovely tribute.

Same again next year! 🏆🍻
