00:00Hello, I'm Martin O'Neill and this is just a short message to wish Year 9 St Colum's soccer team all the very best in Barcelona for the World Schools Cup.
00:11A terrific achievement in getting there because I assume from last year's terrific exploits, but really no point in just going along there for the ride.
00:20When you're there, just go and win it. And again, all the very best. Everybody's rooting for you. Good luck.
00:27Welcome to these and congratulate you on a good run in the Cup. It's going to be difficult these boys. Some of the boys are going to be very clever and very good.
00:36But do your best. Don't change your system. You go out and you play and do all the things you have been doing for the last couple of years.
00:43That's why you're in that position now where you've only your section or you've gone through to the final.
00:49Not too many boys of your age, from this neck of the woods, will be going and be a big Cup final, I guess.
00:58It will be all around the world. So it's on behalf of an old man who played a bit of football himself.
01:04And I loved playing in the World Cup. When I was playing in England, you know, I played in matches Pelly, Stefano, Gento.
01:14But with George Best too. And George came in that.
01:18So I'm telling you now, I'll be saying a prayer for you. Just hoping that you perform well and do well. And good luck.
01:27Hi, everyone. It's me, Adam B. I am just sending this quick video message to say a huge good luck to our NI Cup winning year eight,
01:35who are now in year nine as they head off to Barcelona to compete in the school's World Cup.
01:40This is such an incredible achievement. And being the first school in the whole country to be involved just makes it even more special.
01:47So well done. Now, when I was in school, I wasn't exactly the star player.
01:51I guess my main contribution in PE lessons was providing moral support from the bench.
01:57So, yeah, I've got a huge respect for all of you who are terrific at playing football.
02:02So, yeah, well done, guys. And listen, enjoy the experience.
02:07Give it your best. And remember, no matter what happens, you're already making history.
02:11Right. We're all cheering you on back home. So good luck. Bye.
02:16All right, lads. It's Jack Doherty here. I just want to send you a message.
02:20They wish you all the best at the school's World Cup.
02:23I've played for the school before and I've had the great honour of winning the Northern Ireland Cup for the college.
02:29Go smash it, lads. Play with confidence and bring it home.
02:33Yes, lads. Just wanted to jump on and wish you all the best with your trip to Barcelona.
02:38Good luck and enjoy.
02:40Bye.
02:42J.D. Vicarja. Hello, everybody. My name's Rory McHugh.
02:46I'm the mayor of Derry City in Stavann District Council.
02:49And I want to wish St Columns, Year 9, who won the Northern Ireland Cup last year,
02:53all the very best in the school's World Cup in Barcelona that you sort of travelling to.
02:58Give it your best shot. But remember, just enjoy every minute of it. So, all the best.
03:03Best of luck to the boys from St Columns heading off to Barcelona for the World Cup.
03:13These are so lucky to be going there, but you're not just going because you're lucky.
03:17You're going because you're pretty good.
03:19As a former pupil of St Columns, as a former player for St Columns,
03:23I could only dream of getting to do something like that.
03:27But if there is any room on the plane for another coach, I'm happy enough to go.
03:33It's wonderful what you've achieved so far.
03:35It's historic that the school has won now, at that age group, three Northern Ireland Cups in a row.
03:41No one else has done that before.
03:43You must have some coach, Mr Horner told me to say that bit.
03:47But just to let you know, the whole city's behind you.
03:51The whole country's behind you.
03:53You're there representing Ireland.
03:55And I have every confidence that you do brilliant.
04:07Good morning!
