Ferring Youth Atoms have raised £1,780 and the Worthing Lions Club have donated an extra £950 which has helped pay for another.

The cheque was presented by the lions to the under 13s on Sunday.
Coach Richard Hack said the support from the lions has been ‘amazing’.
He said: “They feel as passionate as we do about protecting young footballers with these potential life savers. “They blew us away with their donation and this has paid for one of the defibrillators which will go to our club to protect even more young footballers.”
