A FUNDRAISER in aid of Manorlands at Keighley Martial Arts Centre has been hailed as a huge success.

The event raised £1,250 for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

There were two shows, with over 30 bouts in total. Children and adults took part.

Competitors raised money through sponsorship and there was a bar and a raffle, with a percentage of proceeds going to Manorlands.

The evening featured an eight-man shoot boxing tournament.

"The event followed the success of a show in June when 17 kickboxing bouts took place," said a spokesperson.

All Manorlands services are free, but it costs £10,000 a day to keep the hospice doors open.
