Lions help our youngsters

Cambridge’s successful Trash ‘n Treasure market days are paying dividends for our junior players.

The Cambridge Lions, who run the markets, have donated $3,000 of their market takings to our club so we can buy 80 new playing shirts for junior members.

The Lions, who are neighbours to John Kerkhof Park in Vogel St, fundraise all year so they can help community groups such as our club.

Advising our club of the grant, Peter Knox, who chairs the Lions’ grants committee, said his club wanted to encourage youngsters to take up sport and become part of a club.

The Lions donation has been made at a time when the club is fundraising to progressively replace all junior strips.

“The donation has come at just the right time and we’re really grateful to the Lions for recognising the value of what we’re doing to help children learn a sport,” club secretary Josh Easby said.
