One of the coaches, Kevin Hook, whose son plays for the club, said: "As the children develop into young adults, we shift some focus from just playing the sport, to helping them develop in to future leaders off the pitch.

Bicester Advertiser:

"We have some boys giving back time to referee younger age groups and help setting up pitches. Having Chol's supporting us allows us to buy more vital equipment for the club, kits for every growing squad and helps us continue to fund development in them.

"We lost the ability to fund raise this year which is what we use to part fund the payments for the kits. Having this from Chol has massively helped particularly this year."
