BCB joint-secretary Mahmud Ul Haque Manu, who is also the CCDM secretary for the senior division league, revealed this yesterday.

According to Manu, the top six teams from last year's Premier league -- champions Abahani, Brothers Union, Kalabagan Krira Chakra, Biman, Mohammedan Sporting Club and Surjo Tarun Club -- will receive Taka 75,000 (seventy five thousand) each, while the other six premier division clubs -- Ajax Sporting Club, Wari Club, Agrani Bank, Victoria Sporting Club, Sadharan Bima Krira Sangstha and 'babes' Orient Sporting Club -- will get Tk 50,000 (fifty thousand) each.

Each of the 12 First Division clubs will receive Tk 25,000 (twenty five thousand). They are: GMCC, Bangladesh Boys Club, Gopibagh Friends Association, City Club, Dhaka Wanderers, Dhanmondi Club, Lalmatia Club, Azad Sporting Club, Young Cricketers, Uttara Sporting Club, Eskaton Sabuj Sangha and Jatrabari Krira Chakra.

``This is an initial donation to the clubs from the board. The amount might be increased in future if the next board meeting permits,'' said Manu.
