It was Game, Set, Match, as Judy Murray presented veterans' charity Erskine with a National Lottery trophy for the UK's best sport project.

Erskine got their elderly care home residents involved in last year's Commonwealth Games by organising a programme of sports and activities themselves.

The Lottery-funded project saw 80 and 90-year-olds take each other on at balloon tennis, wheelchair games and cycling and won Erskine the £2,000 prize for best sport project.

Judy said: "They are thoroughly deserving winners. People often think of National Lottery funding being invested into elite sport and facilities but the project run by Erskine is a great example of the difference the money is making to people of all ages and abilities. One of the veterans here was inspired by the project to get back into cycling at the age of 98 years."
Erskine chief executive Steve Conway said: "The project was a fantastic success and all our veterans thoroughly enjoyed trying new activities and rekindling old sporting passions."

Consolation Prize:

The Rangers Youth Development Company were very very sad to see that none of our hundred tickets won a prize. :(

So they've emailed me and donated a pair of free tickets for the Livingston Game. :21:

That was nice of them, wasn't it? :D

The game is likely to be a sell-out, so if any Loyal Fund Member wants these two tickets, just PM me.

This is a great opportunity to introduce someone to the proper Ibrox Experience.

You can give them to friends, family, workmates, whoever you want. No strings attached.

If more than one Fund Member wants them, then names in the hat as usual. (tu)
