Magpie vice captain Scott Pendlebury was at Triple M studios this morning to present General Manager of the Moorabbin Saints Junior Football League, David Cannizzo with $10,000 to help his struggling junior league.

The $10,000 was donated by Triple M’s The Hot Breakfast and Collingwood to help the league with funding for its girls' competition, which has more than 200 participants.

Mr Cannizzo said the $10,000 would go a long way in helping to grow the league in 2012 and expanding the girls’ competition.

“The MSJFL wants the competition to grow in 2012 and we want to hold more games at more venues at an under 12 and under 14 level.

“This money will help to buy much needed resources such as goal posts, pads, cones, scoreboards, etc.

“We are conscious that female football is the fastest growing area of the game and we want to capitalise on that and this money will go a long way to ensure it happens."
