"The idea was basically to give our kids - and all kids with Down Syndrome - an opportunity to form friendships and build up their confidence, whilst enjoying the physical benefits of regular sporting activity," Kevin Morrison explained to SportsJOE. "The kids really seemed to be enjoying it so we agreed to try and keep it going for another season. We even had an end of season awards presentation. "Our second season started in October 2016 and it was clear our progress hadn't gone unnoticed. I was contacted by Michael Hamill who was Treasurer of Derry club Oxford United Stars. He offered to supply us with a brand new Oxford United kit, new footballs and most importantly, he offered us the services of Oxford United coaching staff for our Sunday morning sessions."
