DOMESTIC UPDATE
The SONI Ulster Rugby Premiership, the
new name for the Ulster Senior League,
encompasses 11 club rugby teams from across
the Province, who will compete across two
divisions with each team playing all others in
their division once.
In the opening round of Division 1 games there
was a clean sweep of wins for visiting teams as
Banbridge defeated Armagh, while Ballymena
and Ballynahinch recorded victories at City of
Derry and Dungannon respectively.
In Division 2 Malone accounted for Belfast
Harlequins at home and Rainey OB secured
an away win at Queens, while Bangor had the
afternoon off.
There was also a full round of fixtures played in
the Kukri Ulster Rugby Championship Division
1, 2 & 3, as well as the Kukri Ulster Rugby
Championship Conference 1 & 2.
The Kukri Ulster Rugby Championship will
be played off under the same format as the
previous Kukri Qualifying Leagues, with teams
playing each other both home and away.
Promotion and relegation structures also remain
the same.
The Ulster Rugby Provincial Leagues will
replace the Junior Leagues and will be played
off on a Provincial-wide promotion and
relegation format.
The Ulster Rugby Regional Leagues replace the
old Minor Leagues and will be split into three
sections based on geographical regions.
