Malton Minstermen have handed over a £3,000 cheque to York City Football Club.

The money was raised from events during the 2004/05 season, including a golf day, Christmas raffle, end-of-season dinner and a 24-hour whistle-stop tour of Conference stadiums.

Commenting on donation, City director Sophie McGill said: "This is a wonderful contribution to the football club and greatly appreciated. I live in Malton and I am personally delighted and very proud that my local supporters group has achieved so much in their first year."

York Minstermen have also raised another £1,500 for the club during summer events and a trip to Sunderland greyhound stadium.
