Oswestry Sports Forum (OSF) has awareded a grant to Oswestry Boys and Girls Football Club to buy two new goals.
These new goals have allowed more pitches to be used in training sessions and matches.
After the fantastic success of the English women's team, OBGFC is expecting a surge of new members to their girls squad and the new goals will allow the club to expand its membership.
For each grant awarded, OSF allocates a committee member to be the grant mentor.

Alison said: "We are delighted with our new goals and the extra capacity they give us in training and matches.
"We are so excited to start the new season with the inspiration of England’s Lionesses to lead us forward."
