Promising Crossgates BC4 boccia player Kieran Steer was chosen for the David McCrae Bursary, given to support young Scottish athletes with a disability with the potential to succeed on the international stage.
Kieran has made great strides forward in the short period of time he has been playing sport. He attended the GB Boccia Championships for the first time in 2012, acquitting himself well and only losing in the bronze medal play off to Paralympian Peter McGuire.
Earlier this year he won the 2012 British Junior Boccia title after only dropping one point throughout the competition.
