Grand reasons to celebrate for Yorks sporting clubs
Sports clubs in West Yorkshire are celebrating cash windfalls.
Five community clubs have each won £1,000 from the Yorkshire Cash 4 Clubs giveaway run by Betfair and the YEP.
The fund was set up to give a vital cash boost to sports clubs based in Yorkshire.
During the summer campaign, readers were asked to collect tokens from the paper and then complete an application form saying why their club deserved the money.
Scores of entries were whittled down and the five winners were recently presented with their summer jackpots.
The winners were Guiseley Rangers ARLFC; Wakefield Phoenix Junior Netball Club; Leeds City Athletic Club; Alwoodley Tennis Club and Temple Newsam Halton Gymnastics Club.
The cash will be used for a variety of projects and will help buy new sports equipment, team kits and even a specialist racing wheelchair.
