A CHEQUE for £1,500 has been handed over to a Teesdale football club.
The donation has been given by Durham Police Authority to Barnard Castle Football Club for its work with young people.
The money will be used to buy trophies and medals and also for sports equipment.
Councillor Joe Knox, vice-chairman of the police authority, said: "You look around and you see 160 happy kids who are coming along and getting involved."
Club chairman Pat Estall said that fundraising became more difficult every year, and if anyone wants to offer sponsorship, they should contact (01833) 631621 or (07876) 592642.
