The dedicated group was Amy Hately, Ellie Gordon, Jill Batson, Nicola Harker, Stephen Patterson, Michael Trench and Jenny Patterson.

The gang was aiming to raise £2,000 to go towards equipment and the club’s soon-to-be-built new facility, and they are just shy of their target.

After the run, Juniors chairman Peter Hately said: “I am so proud of all the club’s runners. We are so lucky as a club to have such an amazing group of volunteers. Thanks on behalf of 200 kids.”

Earlier this year, the club received a key grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund, meaning that a scheme to develop a full-size floodlit pitch with synthetic surface, as well as a clubhouse and changing area, at their base at Greensfield, could go ahead. It is hoped it will be completed next year.
