Daily celebrates grassroots sport in special edition

A regional daily has run a special edition celebrating grassroots sport.

The Manchester Evening News published the edition on Thursday, accompanied by a 16-page supplement on the issue.

It features photographs of grassroots sports teams, which the MEN says “plays a vital part in bringing communities together”.

Readers were previously asked to submit photos to appear in the edition.

A past piece encouraging submissions states: “Here at the Manchester Evening News, we want to celebrate grassroots sports – and we need your help.

“Send in photos of your team and we will feature them in a special edition of the Manchester Evening News.

“It’s been a stop-start 18 months for sports teams, but as the restrictions continue to ease we’re keeping our fingers crossed for the prospect of uninterrupted seasons.

“Grassroots sport plays a vital part in bringing communities together and to celebrate the great and good of our local sports scene we want to hear from you.”
