PRESIDENT’S
WELCOME
I would particularly like to welcome
the officials, players and supporters
who have made the trip from Scotland
and I hope that you enjoy your time in
Belfast.
It is only seven weeks since our
last encounter at BT Murrayfield,
Stadium where Edinburgh inflicted
a 16-10 defeat and after last week’s
disappointing result in Dublin, I am
sure that Ulster will be well prepared
both physically and mentally for
tonight’s encounter.
Edinburgh are currently one place
ahead of Ulster in the PRO12 table on
points difference and a win for Ulster
would put them ahead of the Scots
and back in contention for a qualifying
place for Europe next season.
In club rugby my congratulations go
to Bangor and Instonians who are
through to the final of the All Ireland
Junior Cup.
Dates for your diary: The Millar
McCall Wylie Junior Cup final will be
contested on Tuesday 15th December
at Kingspan Stadium between
Bangor and Instonians with the First
Trust Senior Cup on Thursday 17th
December between Ballymena and
Ballynahinch. Both games kick off at
7.30pm.
The annual Ulster Rugby Carol Service
will take place in the H3 Lounge at
7.30pm on Monday 7th December.
The service will include readings
and carols, while our chaplain, Rev.
Andrew Thompson will be sharing
what Christmas means to him.
Refreshments will be provided after the
service and parking is available inside
the stadium. We would encourage
those attending by car to avail of these
facilities to minimise inconvenience
to our local residents and everyone is
very welcome to attend.
I hope that you all enjoy the game and
give Edinburgh a great Ulster reception
this evening.
Good luck to Ulster and remember,
STAND UP FOR THE ULSTERMEN!
Bobby Stewart // President
IRFU (Ulster Branch)
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to
Kingspan Stadium this evening for this Guinness
PRO12 match against Edinburgh.
