BIG-hearted bowlers from all over Inverclyde raised £1,200 for a much-loved local charity.
Greenock & District Bowling Association gathered players together from 15 clubs across the area to take part in this year's Ardgowan Hospice Cup.
The week before the tournament, individual clubs collected donations for the hospice, ready to be passed on after the competition ended.
Greenock & District Bowling Association president Grant Craig said the association was 'bowled over' by the amount of money donated.
He added: "We all know so many people who have had to use the services of the hospice, and we know how much vital care and support the team provide.
"We want to say a huge 'thank-you' to Ardgowan Bowling Club for hosting, and to everyone who donated to the cause."
Joanna Hunter of Ardgowan Hospice said: "It's absolutely amazing that the bowlers have chosen to support us in this way.
"This is a fantastic amount of money and will help so much."
