A FOOTBALL club is celebrating after receiving a grant to improve its facilities.

Marske United Under-14s Football Club has been awarded £150 from the BT Community Champions scheme.

The scheme is open to employees who have been actively involved in a local group or charity organisation for more than 12 months.

Leslie Banks, who helps out with the local football club, applied for the grant to help provide wet weather clothes for the players and coaches, training props for both outside and inside training sessions and catering items.
