Three of Fenland’s sports clubs have received vital funding to help improve sporting opportunities for years to come.
The March Sports Association, which consists of March Bears Rugby Club, March Athletic Club and March Park Rangers Youth Football Club, has won £234,000 to go towards redevelopment plans for the clubhouse at their Elm Road Sports Field home, as well as providing new changing facilities.
Having already raised £126,000 towards the project, the decision to award the grant was approved by Cambridgeshire County Council’s Communities and Partnership Committee on Thursday, July 2.
