Ulster Rugby vs Llanelli Scarlets

BIG BALLOT Each year the URSC makes a Jack Kyle Bursary Award (currently worth £2500) to one of Ulster’s promising youngsters from the Hughes Insurance Ulster Rugby Academy - internationals Craig Gilroy, Iain Henderson & Stuart Olding are but 3 of the players who have benefited from our Bursary in the past. Last year it was scrum half Dave Shanahan. The Jack Kyle Bursary is largely funded by URSC’s annual “Big Ballot” - where fans buy ballot tickets in the hope of winning prizes donated by local sponsors. Among the Big Ballot prizes this year are: > Use of Heineken Box (up to 12 people) at Belfast Giants match of choice, courtesy of Heineken Overnight hotel stay with breakfast, transport to an Ulster game and pair of grandstand tickets, courtesy of Bank of Ireland. > Darren Cave Ulster Rugby Kitbag courtesy of Darren Cave Darren Cave IRFU Kitbag courtesy of Darren Cave Signed Rory McIlroy golf cap Signed Justin Rose golf cap Superman T-Shirt signed by Carl Frampton Andrew Trimble Hanna print courtesy of Hanna Fine Prints Voucher for Molly Brown’s Kitchen & Bar Voucher for Ryan’s Bar & Restaurant Jennie Hales c/o BodyGen 12- 1 to 1 sessions and Nutrition and Diet Session courtesy of Jennie Hales/ BodyGen Stevie Love “Last Stand @ Ravenhill” courtesy of Love Images NI £30 Voucher for Silhouette Boutique DATES FOR YOUR DIARY The next Meet the Players evening will be held on Monday 24th October at 7.30pm in the H3 lounge at Kingspan Stadium and will be a European Review and Autumn International Preview > > > > > > > > > > >
