A Darlington firm of solicitors made a knockout fundraising attempt to help raise more than £800 for St Teresa's Hospice.

The team from Latimer Hinks, which took second place in the Darlington hospice's It's a Knockout event on Sunday, has donated all proceeds to the hospice's home and day care services and in-patient unit.

The event, which was sponsored by Darlington Operatic Society, saw 17 teams compete at Darlington Rugby Club, in Blackwell.

St Teresa's Hospice has been adopted by Latimer Hinks as its charity for 2003.

The Priestgate law firm has been a long-term supporter of the charity, helping it with various fundraising activities and pledging staff time to assist with the Giving to Life Christmas Tree appeal
