MANCHESTER NORTHERN RACKET SPORTS CLUB BENEFITS

FROM THE MARS REFUEL DRINK FUND

Members of the Manchester Northern Racket Sports Club, based in West Didsbury, are celebrating after receiving a £500 donation from the MARS Refuel Drink Fund.

The club has hundreds of members who enjoy racket sports at both an amateur and a professional level. Racketball in particular has grown in popularity and the club is very keen to build on this growth as the sport is ideal for people who find squash too physically demanding.

Anna Vaughan Hawkins, a racketball coach and club member, explains: “This donation means we can put into practice a plan we have had for a long time. We will buy a huge bag of racketball equipment to be kept at the club so that all members can practice using top of the range equipment.

“The club supports local cancer Hospital The Christie, and this equipment will also be used by young people visiting from the hospital. A big thank you to the MARS Refuel Drink Fund as this donation will help so many people to play for longer.”

The MARS Refuel Drink Fund aims to help sports clubs and individuals to play sport for longer.

MARS Refuel is a great source of protein, carbohydrate, calcium and vitamin B. It’s the milk goodness in MARS Refuel that provides the optimum 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein that helps people to go 50% longer*.
