I have heard this week that the application that Grove Challengers Football Club made to my County Councillor Community budget funding has been successful. This is excellent news for the club who have been awarded £1,500 in order to purchase two new goals. They are particularly keen to expand the club next year to have teams for girls and these moveable goal posts are helping them to achieve this aim. On the back of the great success that women's football played in this years' Olympic games, I was delighted to enable this to happen.
The club has an excellent fund-raising committee dedicated to the work of promoting football within Grove and has been running since 1971. There are over 170 children registered at the moment and the club continues to grow. These goals should now be able to be in use for the new season. I have always enjoyed going along to the Challengers 6-a-side competitions held over the summer as reported here and will look forward to seeing the goals and the girls in action in the future!
