Bolton Woods Junior Football Club has won £5,000 to boost youngsters’ involvement in the game.

The Shipley club can now increase the number of coaches and teams thanks to the Grow the Game funding provided by the Football Foundation.

The grant will also be used to train volunteers as referees and coaches.

Grow the Game has awarded 874 separate grants worth around £4.2m to grassroots football clubs.

Bolton Woods general manager Tony Miller said: “We are extremely grateful to the Football Foundation in recognising our aims and objectives for junior footballers.”
