Staff from the web development and digital marketing company raised more than £400 with the challenge.

Completing the Three Peaks were Pivotal marketing director, Phil Hatfield, his wife Jill, Pivotal copywriter and social media co-ordinator Jayna Patel and her dad, Sanjay Patel, along with other family and friends.

Mr Hatfield said: “As a local business it’s important to give something back by doing fundraising. There are few people in Calderdale who haven’t been touched by the warmth, compassion and consideration that Overgate Hospice gives every day and every night, year in and year out, and so we believe it makes a hugely worthwhile charity to raise funds for."

They competed on five pitches at Leeds Road playing fields, raising £660 for the Bradley hospice.

The tournament – organised by Code Blue Communications, based at Old Leeds Road, and Barnsley-based social enterprise Team Activ – involved 11 teams and was won by refrigeration and air conditioning company Crowther and Shaw, of Queen’s Mill Road.

Russell Goldthorpe, director at Code Blue Communications, said: “We have worked with Forget Me Not for five years and wanted to arrange a pretty unique but inclusive fundraising event.

“Rounders seemed like a great sport to bring back childhood memories, whilst being slightly competitive. It turned into a highly competitive, but really enjoyable evening. The event was a great success and everyone has been contacting us about the 2017 tournament.”
