In conjunction with Midway FC and Dunganon FC, pupils from St Joseph’s Boys’ HS, Newry recently took part in a series of after school soccer coaching sessions.

Project co-ordinator Mr Brendan Fearon explained, “The project was set up to showcase the exceptional talents of pupils and provide meaningful opportunities for them to develop key interpersonal skills including team-work, communication and confidence building.”

Midway FC Chairman Anthony Marron stated, “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.
