Blayney Junior Soccer Club has secured $6,000 from the Local Sports Grant Program for new seating at their home ground Napier Oval on Hobby Yards Road.
Member for Bathurst Paul Toole knows how important sport is to society in keeping locals active and engaged with the community.
“Running clubs like Blayney Junior Soccer Club really is a team effort, from the players, referees and coaches to the parents and families who run the canteen, bring the soccer balls and keep score, even to the local businesses that provide sponsorship and council who mow the grass, everyone plays a vital role in keeping these clubs running,” Mr Toole said.
“The new seating will allow for more spectators to enjoy the game in comfort and bigger crowds when it comes to finals.
“Congratulations to the club’s committee on this successful grant application, I am sure it will be put to good use.”
The funding will be used to purchase tiered grandstand seating.
Blayney Junior Soccer Club President James Stanbridge said it was an exciting time for the club.
“We have grown in numbers and are entering finals time for this season,” Mr Stanbridge said.
“The club is very grateful for this support from Mr Toole and the NSW Government.”
