Wickham Wallabies Cricket Club Awarded Community TAB Sports Grant
21 May, 2019
Community TAB of Racing and Wagering WA (RWWA) has awarded Wickham Wallabies Cricket Club a $2000 sports grant.
The Wickham Wallabies Cricket Club was one of four sporting clubs selected to receive a grant in May, from over 400 sporting clubs that have applied from around WA.
Nick Lewis, President of the Wickham Wallabies Cricket Club already knows exactly what his club will use the funds for.
“This grant means a great deal to the club, as it will enable us to buy new equipment that we require for training and game days, plus help to lessen costs for the club, which will let us do more for the teams,” said Lewis.
“The grant will enable people to be active within a team environment during the summer months when not a lot happens within the community.”
RWWA CEO Richard Burt said the organisation recognises the importance of grass roots sports throughout WA.
“We understand that it takes time and resources to keep a club running within the community, so we are pleased to be giving the opportunity to help relieve this burden on clubs,” said Mr Burt.
Community TAB will provide at least one grant each month to a sporting club to further their contribution to the sport and recreation industry in WA. Once a club applies for a grant, the application will stay within the pool until the grant is awarded.
