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.”
