Watch: Hospices are the winners after Shrewsbury Town's FA Cup showdown with Manchester United
Shrewsbury Town might have lost out when they faced Manchester United in the FA Cup – but the club has made sure two hospices are winners.
The hugely anticipated match saw Shrewsbury lose 3-0 to the Premier League giants.
But both Hope House Children's Hospice and Severn Hospice have been given £550 which was raised when Martin Leeke submitted the winning bid for tickets to the match.
The tickets had been put up by the club's manager Micky Mellon, who was joined by striker Andy Mangan and Mr Leeke to hand over a cheque at Hope House's Morda base, near Oswestry.
The offer of a "manager's matchday experience" included two tickets, a chance to meet the manager, and two signed Shrewsbury Town shirts.
Lynsey Kilvert, Hope House's area fundraising manager, said they were hugely grateful for the club's support.
She said: "It is fantastic, we have so much support from Shrewsbury Town, not just financially but they come up to see the children which is wonderful and they really enjoy it.
"They also allow our children and their siblings to go to matches which is great.
"This particular donation is very useful because it will go towards replacing a piece of equipment which is fantastic."
Hope House provides a range of services including respite and end-of-life care at its hospices, or within the family home.
It also provides support such as counselling, advocacy and the promotion of children, young people's and carers' rights.
In the coming year, it will cost Hope House £6 million to provide specialist nursing care and support to life-limited children, young people and young adults across Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales – more than £100,000 every week.
