Grant to expand women's cricket program
Southern Spirit Cricket Club have been awarded a grant of $5000 to expand their women's cricket program.
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch NSW Local Sport Grant would allow female participation by subsiding fees for women and girls.
"The Local Sport Grant Program has a key objective to increase participation and access for women and girls," she said.
Southern Spirit senior directore Mr Sean Dickson said the funding would go a long way to increase female participation.
"We want to double our numbers of women and girls in our club, and the grant will help us achieve this by allowing us to subsidise registration fees.
"As a club, we would be unable to provide the adequate training and equipment without the help of funding through programs like the Local Sport Grant program.
"It's going to allow us to build a more rounded community cricket club."
