Two grassroots sports clubs in Cranbourne will receive a boost in the training and equipment they need to grow and win more silverware.
Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera announced grants for Cranbourne Little Athletics ($1980 for First Aid training), and Melbourne Crickeroos Incorporated ($1000 for uniforms).
The clubs will share in more than $500,000 from the first round of the State Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program 2017-’18.
“We’re giving grassroots sports clubs in Cranbourne the support they need to grow their ranks and help more people than ever play the sports they love.”
“Here in Cranbourne, we are proud of our clubs and the vital role they play in bringing together our community,” Mr Perera said.
He said the program would help more people of all ages and abilities to participate in grassroots sports and realise their sporting dreams.
This grant round saw over 340 clubs successfully apply for funding across the state.
