Twenty members of the Dunbeth FC club’s 2003 side took part in a screening for heart conditions. Kieran McDade, who used to play for the club, tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest during training in 2016 at just 13 years old. Since then, his coaches and team mates have established the Kieran McDade Foundation to donate defibrillators to sports clubs and provide first aid training sessions. The heart screening session was carried out by Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) with organisers having joined forces with their Ben Forsyth Memorial Fund.
“There are too many tales of grief, and too many families in Scotland have to go through the loss of a loved one from these heart defects,” said Stirling Albion junior academy chair Grant Morrice.
