Cash for Sport: Football club celebrate scooping top prize

A football club is sporting a brand new strip after scooping the top prize in the Advertiser's Cash for Sport scheme.

Cookham Dean FC reserves spent part of its £2,000 prize, provided by the Louis Baylis (Maidenhead Advertiser) Charitable Trust, on the new kit as well as buying new track suits for the under nines team and a line painter.

Club chairman Rory Gavin said: "The money has helped us out no end. We even had a little bit left over to buy a few tins of paint to give the club house a brush up, so everyone has benefited.

"We've decided to put the Louis Baylis logo on the front of our strips so everyone knows where the money has come from.

"We really are so delighted to have won and will definitely be entering again this year."

The Shergold Way club was one of more than 20 which spent 10 weeks collecting tokens printed in the Advertiser.

Its 60 members collected more than 500 tokens.

Runner-up Holyport Cricket Club was also awarded £1,500.
