Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council is to show its support for a wide spectrum of sports by providing over £60,000 for local bodies.

Under the Sports Development Revenue Fund 2011-2012, the Council has made a recommendation to provide £4,000 towards the Ulster branch of the Irish Table Tennis Association; and £20,000 each for Dungannon Football Club and the Irish Football Association.

It has also been recommended at a meeting of the Council that a further £20,000 be give to Tyrone County Board providing the Board demonstrates that it covers the difference.

The Council has committed a total of £100,000 to initiatives for a period of one year, July 2011 to June 2012, with the maximum funding provided to each successful applicant not exceeding £20,000.

Applicants were required to demonstrate match funding of at least 50 per cent of the total applied for.
