Their four-hour challenge attracted 45 players to raise funds for Michael's charity The Sheffield Children's Hospital and Tom's cause The Pied Piper Appeal.

Also teeing off was Football Focus presenter Dan Walker. Former footballer and Strictly contestant Robbie Savage had donated signed items for an auction, but had to pull out of playing.
