Jon Fuller, chairman, said: “Modern football coaching methods encourage each child to access to a football during training sessions. It is no longer acceptable to just throw a ball into a crowd of kids and let them play a game.
“One hundred and seventy young footballers require 170 footballs of varying sizes, which is obviously a significant cost every year.
“Any support we receive from local business during these economic times is gratefully accepted, but this donation from the Bungay School of Motoring relieves a huge financial headache.”
