TWO groups who applied for cash help from Darlington Borough Council are likely to be successful in their bids.

The council's cabinet committee decided to award Branksome Tennis Club £200 to help it establish a club at Branksome School, for pupils, ex-pupils, and other members of the community.

The Childminders Group is to receive £100 towards the cost of renting a meeting room.

A final decision rests with the ratification committee, which meets on Tuesday.
