Oxford Bulls Travel To Watch Blues Beat Brighton

Everton Football Club hosted a group of extra special guests for the recent home win against Brighton; a team of eight young Down Syndrome players who had travelled from Derry, Londonderry, in Northern Ireland to watch the Blues in action and catch a glimpse of their hero Seamus Coleman.

The young boys all play for the famous Oxford Bulls – a football team specifically for children with Down Syndrome which was established with the help of the Foyle Down’s Syndrome Trust in 2015 – and recently won the Irish Football Association Disability Team of the Year 2017.
