The boss of a Welsh football club tried to swindle taxpayers out of £4,000 in Covid grants by claiming an empty shed was a gym.
Owen Duggan, 41, from Fishguard, Pembrokeshire in the southwest of Wales, claimed that players used the bogus gym to work out in order to gain financial support during the pandemic.
However, suspicious inspectors visited the site to find the building was actually a tumbledown shed with no equipment inside.
A court heard Duggan was chairman of Fishguard Sports AFC when he made a series of grant applications to Pembrokeshire Council.
