00:06 How do you think this year's final is going to go?
00:08 It's so long overdue. We're confident we'll give it the best of our ability some of the day.
00:13 And the deciding thing is we're going to have a huge tournament.
00:16 Everybody's going to see just how big our club are.
00:18 We're in the championship level but we're not championship level.
00:21 And you play for Portadown Youth?
