Members of The Northern Counties Roller Hockey Association are celebrating today after receiving a grant of £5000 from the National Lottery’s Awards for All Programme.

The grant will allow the group to buy strips for each of the Inter-regional teams and arrange coaching and training sessions which in the past have proved difficult.

We will also be able to subsidise the costs of Inter regional tournaments in our region and to fund ‘taster sessions’ for all clubs in the region in order to increase participation.

Competitions Secretary Peter Lonsdale said “We are thrilled to get this award. For a group like ours this is a large sum of money – and it will allow us to help many local people and clubs.

We’ve worked very hard to develop this project and to write this application. Now we have the money, it’s time for the real work to start”
