A rugby match which saw Wales and British Lions legends Mike Phillips and Adam Jones battle it out near Llanidloes has raised more than £12,000 for a mental health charity.
The Heart of Wales 7s tournament hosted the much-anticipated match with the Mike Phillips Barbarians vs the Flaming Unicorns, a team formed by the mental health charity Tough Enough to Care (TETC) which Phillips said was a "top night, got the win as well!"
Jordan Davies, festival founder, said: “The money will go a long way to support the conversation and interventions that TETC put in place and develop.

“We look forward to hearing the positive stories and impact this fundraising will have and supporting them this year.”
Heart of Wales 7s will be back in 2024 with dates confirmed for the huge sport and music festival on July 5 to 7.
True to his word Tough Enough to Care CEO Stuart Bratt was inked with a tattoo of Heart of Wales 7s logo after making the promise if the target was reached.
He said: “This is much more than just a tattoo, this is a memory of a remarkable journey for our charity, a memory of the trust put in to us by Jordan Doddy Davies and the Heart of Wales 7s team and most of all, a memory of the lifelong friends we continue to make on this amazing journey.”
