Sports scholarships honour UCC students

MEMORIAL scholarships were awarded last night which honoured two young UCC students who died in tragic circumstances.

The UCC scholarships were made to the memory of Jonathan Herlihy and Jason Foley, who were both sporting icons of their generation.

Jonathan Herlihy was just 22-years-old when he drowned trying to save two people at Owenahincha beach. The incident happened in September 2006 and the two people he was trying to save survived.
