NETBALL players in Highworth have received a £350 cash boost.

Highworth Netball Club received the money from the John Trollope Sports Aid Fund.

Club representatives received the funding at this week's town council meeting.

The cash will help five teams attend a series of tournaments. Cash also went to Highworth hockey star Ben Moody, 18, to help with coaching fees.

Ian Miller, the secretary of the sports fund, said: "People are eligible if they coach in Highworth, live in the town or are at school here."
