00:00The Foil Cup is a highlight for a lot of young children in Derry.

00:08They look forward to it all year.

00:10It provides them with a platform to perform and to compete against players that they wouldn't

00:15usually get the opportunity to compete against.

00:17There's teams here this week from North America, England, Scotland, Wales, mainland Europe.

00:22So giving children the opportunity to play against different cultures, different styles

00:26is really important in developing a good self-esteem within all the children locally.

00:37Ulster University are pivotal in the development of the Foil Cup.

00:40Long even before the event starts we're using the facilities and then on the day of the

00:44tournament itself, the launch day, we take a parade from here.

00:48We also use the halls of residence, not only in Derry but also in Corain and also we're

00:52using the facilities, the pitches on Don Cregan Road and also the university pitches

00:57in Corain.

00:58It's just fantastic to see how much more of the university are becoming embedded into

01:03the community.
