SUNDERLAND emerged victorious at a charity golf day featuring former players from both sides of the football derby divide.
Micky Horswill, a member of Sunderland’s 1973 FA Cup-winning side, led his team against former Newcastle United full-back John Anderson, who now commentates on Magpies games for BBC Radio Newcastle.
They competed for the Konect Derby Cup at Houghton-le-Spring Golf Club, between Sunderland and Durham City, today (Wednesday, April 1).
A total of 46 golf-playing football fans played 18 holes to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
There was also a two-course meal and refreshments, along with the chance to chat to the two legends.
The event was organised by Konect Events, whose Managing Director, Gavin Brown, said: “Team Sunderland won by 127 points to 111.
“This is the third year we have done this day and every we time we have run it Team Sunderland have won the golf day and Sunderland have gone on to win the derby so I know who my money is on at the bookies."
The total amount of money raised for the charity is still being counted up.
