Many thanks to the players for their time!

URSC MEMBERSHIP 2016/17
It was great to see so many Exeter Chiefs
fans over for last week’s match – particularly
Richard Cresswell, Chairman of the Exeter
Chiefs supporters club and the many
members of his tribe!
Respect too for the Exeter cyclists who rode
from Sandy Park to Kingspan with Exeter
Chief Executive Tony Rowe at the wheel of
the support bus – well done – brilliant effort.
A big thank you to the Ulster peloton that
accompanied our visitors for the final miles
to Kingspan Stadium and to Malone Rugby
Club who hosted the Chiefs fans before and
after the match.
Thanks too to all Ulster and Exeter fans who
paid their respects to Anthony Foley before
and during last week’s match – the rugby
family is as one in grief at the life of one of its
own cut so cruelly short. RIP Axel
BIG BALLOT
Each year the URSC presents 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.
