YOUNGSTERS in the Wombwell and Darfield area will be able to carry on playing basketball next season following a grant of £750 from the Darfield Community First Fund.
The Barnsley Schools Basketball team, based at Netherwood ALC, will be able to keep running its four junior teams, the Darfield Dunkers, as the grant helps them with running costs.
Coach Bert Beaumont, 72, of Church Street, Darfield, said: "In order to charge as little as possible to the kids, we rely on grants such as this."It costs a lot to stage games and play fixtures but this will help us out."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
