A HOUSING developer has presented Great Ayton Football and Cricket Club with a cheque for £500.

George Wimpey North's sponsorship means the footballers, who play in the Cleveland League, have a new strip.

Team manager Dennis Readman said: "The much-needed kit has been a great morale boost for the lands and hopefully it should improve their game."

Rodger Brasington, sales and marketing director with the firm, which has a development in the village, said the company wanted to lend a hand in the community by supporting local talent.
