Moree (C/R) Aug. 6 GNA - Mr Harry Hayford, Member of Parliament (MP) for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese constituency on Wednesday presented a cheque of three million cedis from his MP's share of the District Assemblies Common Fund to Moree Astons Football Club at a ceremony at Moree.

The money forms part of his share of the District Assemblies Common Fund and is meant to motivate and encourage the team in their preparations.
