Less than a month ago, the Oxford Bulls were a team with no one to play against.

The Derry-based team of footballers with Down Syndrome were founded in 2015 but struggled to find opponents.

A fortnight ago, just a day after Ireland played Iceland at the Aviva, the Bulls played against James McClean and friends, pulling off a stunning win.

A video of the game proved popular and has led to plenty of exposure and offers for the team.

John Morris, one of the player's parents, told BBC that Premier League clubs have been in contact.

With James McClean coming down, they've become famous.

The exposure has been unbelievable.

Manchester City, Liverpool FC and UEFA have even been in contact.

Kevin Morrison added that the Bulls now have enough offers of game to play every week for the next two years.

Our first competitive match will now take place in Sion Mills on 24 April.
