Clubs that incurred costs that cannot be recouped after events or activities were cancelled or postponed can use the funding towards cancellation fees for facilities, coaches and officials, as well as loss of perishable goods.
The next round of the Sporting Club Grants Program is due to open later this year with grants available for new uniforms and equipment; training coaches, officials and volunteers and improving club operational effectiveness.
Tierney congratulated the clubs.
"We're proud to provide this boost that's helping clubs recoup lost revenue due to event cancellations and supporting them and their members," she said.
