A COMMUNITY football clubis raising money to send players to an international tournament.
Consett YMCA under-15s team is fundraising whenever possible for new equipment and strips.
They are taking part in a football competition in Hungary this month. There has been a substantial donation from local builder RT Construction towards the team's new strip.
Staff in Woolworths, at the MetroCentre, have helped with collections and a tombola raised more than £1,000 for the team.
Team coach Andy Gill said: "We would also like to say thanks to Iceland, Consett, and Asda, in Stanley, for allowing the lads days to help with bag-packing to help boost funds."
