Students Alex Heaney and Ethan McFee from St Joseph's Boys' High School, Newry are two of the latest recipients of the PLAYR-FIT Elite Athlete Scholarship.
The scholarship program is available to two pupils in each school. As part of the scholarship program PLAYR-FIT sets up a fund that financially helps the pupils with the extra costs of being an elite athlete such as receiving the very best S&C, nutrition, physiotherapy and gym guidance and also allows them to focus on their studies.
Alex plays soccer and is currently on the books at Cliftonville FC and just recently played in the U19 Champions League for the club. He has won numerous underage cups with the club including the Northern Ireland Cup last year. Alex has played in the prestigious Milk Cup, now known as the SuperCup NI and he has also recently spent time at MK Dons in England.
