Midways FC Chairman Anthony Marron added, ‘Midways FC has always had a strong relationship with St Joseph’s and we are delighted to be involved in this project where the interests and skills of youngsters are nurtured in such a positive way and give them the chance to develop their health and social experiences at the same time.

This project will help to give widespread recognition from major clubs to the talents of the pupils and potentially open doors for those who are keen to progress into a professional level ’
