IFA awards for David and Jason

Regional winners - including Jason Quigley from Portrush FC and David Cunningham from Ballymoney United Youth Academy - were presented with awards across various categories at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, by Northern Ireland’s record goal scorer, David Healy.

Through their clubs, the various winners have made a significant and positive civic impact both on and off the pitch during COVID-19, helping the game to return safely within their communities.

The ‘heroes of the local game’ who will now go forward to the national Northern Ireland awards in November. David Healy said: “Year on year the McDonald’s Irish FA Grassroots Football awards recognise the incredible work and commitment of football clubs and volunteers within the grassroots game, who give their time to enable it to flourish and grow. Over the past few months in particular, the proactive and valuable community work from local grassroots football clubs has been a huge credit to all involved. The awards are so important in honouring the volunteers and unsung heroes of the grassroots game who are the heartbeat of clubs and communities and contribute hugely for the good of football in Northern Ireland.”
