LAKE Macquarie soccer players Benjamin Hay, Quin McNeil and Reece Papas have been selected from hundreds of junior players across Northern NSW to receive a McDonald's Northern NSW Football Scholarship and get one step closer to reaching their football dreams.
The three were each awarded a $500 scholarship to help further their training and development in the sport.
"We are so thrilled to award these scholarships to Benjamin, Quin and Reece," McDonald's Lake Haven licensee Barry Keeling said.
"They are outstanding young sportspeople and we hope that this $500 will assist them with ongoing training, equipment and transport.
McDonald's and Northern NSW football scholarships have helped more than 80 junior players to achieve their goals.
