“We feel strongly that sport should be open to all regardless ability and hope this donation helps in some small way to encourage others to come forward and support the team.”

Mike Bird, of behalf of the Ability Counts section, said: “We were delighted to receive this very generous donation towards our new kit – the players are currently wearing a mix of different shirts.
