Hillsborough Judo Club
have started 2012 with a cash boost after receiving £8,000 from
Sport England’s Small Grants Programme.
Club Official Cameron McDowall
said: “We are all absolutely delighted that our efforts have been
rewarded with this important milestone of our long term game plan.
“With a new judo mat on the funding list this means Hillsborough
Judo Club can now introduce two extra days of judo into the week
complimenting our usual Friday night training schedule.
“We all wanted to get the
Sunday morning training back which a lot of senior judo players
enjoyed some time ago and we now can do this alongside a new Kano
class to be run for 5-8 year olds.
“The strength and numbers of different levels of coaches will
be second to none, the funding has helped to achieve this important
factor of our game plan. The award will also increase our equipment
with extra safety mats, and grappling dummies which the juniors
cannot wait to get their hands on.
“This year we have our sights on another project which could result
in more funding of an equivalent value, we do not want to miss
any opportunity especially when the Olympics are upon us."
Hilsborough Judo Club train
at Hillsborough Leisure Centre, Sheffield, S6 2AN. Boys and girls
