THE annual cricket match between the stars of ITV soap Emmerdale and a North Yorkshire village team has raised cash for Northallerton's Friarage Hospital.
The match, which took place on Sunday, August 12 in Crakehall, near Bedale, saw cast members including Chris Chittell, who plays Eric Pollard; Liam Fox, who plays Dan Spencer; and Joe-Warren Plant, who plays Jacob Gallagher get involved to raise funds for the Friends of The Friarage.
The match supports a different charity each year, often raising thousands of pounds.
There were other attractions and stalls, including the Theakston Lightfoot Beer Tent, of which all money taken went to the Friends of the Friarage.
The Friends group recently raised money for a £153,000 Heidelberg machine, an eye scanner which help diagnose conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye problems at the earliest stage possible.
