The Somer Valley Rotary club have purchased and presented a defibrillator to Chilcompton sports club.
The donation was made through an initiative by the FA, who were offering defibrillators to all football clubs at a subsidised cost.
The president of Somer Valley Rotary Club, Sunder Gunapathy, said: “There are around 250 children taking part in football at this club, along with adult teams, and we felt this was an opportunity to support a great scheme and such a vibrant club.”
Chilcompton Sports have two adult teams, with one currently top of the Somerset County league. The youth teams cover age groups from under-seven to under-sixteen. They too are enjoying great success this season, with the U13s in both the Semi-Finals of the county cup and league cup, and the U16s also in the Semi-Final of their county cup.
