The officers, who are part of the Scottish Police ice hockey squad, went head to head on November 29 last year at Braehead Arena with their colleagues in the UK fire-fighter ice hockey team.

The event was held to commemorate all those who lost their lives in the disaster and to recognise the efforts of everyone in the emergency services who were involved.

£1 from every ticket sold was split and donated to The Scottish Police Benevolent Fund and The Firefighter’s Charity.

In an effort to raise even more funds, the evening also had a prize raffle and spectators were able to purchase a variety of gifts and items which were donated by local businesses and shops.

The teams are delighted to announce that they have raised over £8000, which will be split between the two charities.

Constable Adam Wilkie, of Police Scotland, said: “We are delighted with the amount we’ve raised, which will go to these very deserving charities.

“We’ve had a great time organising the match and the support we’ve received from Braehead Clan and intu Braehead has been superb. It is thanks to them we’ve been able to hold this commemorative event. By all accounts everyone who came along to watch the match had a great time.

“We’re hoping to make this an annual event to try to raise even more money for charity, and who knows, in the next match we might be able to beat the fire-fighters.” Ten people were killed and dozens were injured after the Eurocopter EC135 crashed through the roof of the popular Clutha Vaults in Glasgow late on November 29, 2013.

Elderslie dad Gary Arthur and Renfrew man Craig Bain, who survived the disaster, were among those in the pub when the £2.3million aircraft — which was being piloted by Lochwinnoch man David Traill — fell out of the sky and crashed through the roof of the popular pub.

Mr Arthur — who lived in Main Road in the village’s Millarston area — was one of those who lost his life.

Pilot David Traill, who served in the Royal Air Force as a Chinook pilot for 20 years and was flying the familiar blue and yellow helicopter, on November 29, 2013 also died.

However, one year on, heartbroken families of the victims are still waiting for answers to what caused the tragedy. Investigators probing the crash say it would take “several weeks” to complete a draft final report, which would be sent to those waiting for answers for comment this year.

A preliminary accident report found that both engines on the aircraft failed but did not point to an exact cause of the crash.

The AAIB has issued interim reports into the crash but the investigation has been hampered because the Eurocopter EC135 T2+ aircraft was not required to be fitted with flight data or cockpit voice recorders.

Paul Morgan, of the UK fire-fighter ice hockey team, added: “We are pleased to be helping to raise money for the charities. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those who perished following the tragic accident last year.” Meanwhile, plans to rebuild the Clutha have been unveiled with proposals for a memorial to those who died included in the drawings.

Owner Alan Crossan hopes to begin the reopening in April.

He said: “Everybody has an opinion on what I should do and I know I’ll not please everyone. To stand in the pub just now where 10 lives were lost is difficult and very sad.

“At the moment I don’t think that it is appropriate to open the Clutha as it was. I know how important the Clutha is to Glasgow and how its resurrection will be seen as a symbol of recovery.” Police officer passengers Kirsty Nelis and Tony Collins were also killed in the tragedy along with customers John McGarrigle, Mark O’Prey, Colin Gibson, Robert Jenkins, Samuel McGhee and Joe Cusker also died.
