PRESIDENT’S
WELCOME
I would particularly like to welcome
the officials, players, supporters and
coaches who have made the trip
from Scotland and I hope that you
enjoy your time in Belfast.
Last year, our games against
Glasgow went with home advantage
and the disappointing semi final
defeat spoiled what should have
been a fairytale ending for Ulster.
This season, Glasgow have not
shown to date the form that they
had last year, however I have no
doubt that they will be formidable
opponents tonight.
Indeed, with two games in hand,
they are once again likely to be title
contenders. We have produced
some good, winning rugby over the
past few weeks to climb to the top
of the PRO12 standings and I must
pay tribute to the management and
professional staff for their excellent
work behind the scenes.
My commiserations must go to
Instonians who lost 23 points to 7
against Enniscorthy at Ashbourne
RFC last Saturday in the Ulster Bank
All Ireland Junior Cup Final.
Last weekend also saw some highly
entertaining Danske Bank Ulster
Schools’ Cup rugby played and my
congratulations goes to eight teams
who emerged to take their places in
the quarter-finals.
I hope that you all enjoy the game
and give Glasgow Warriors 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
between Ulster and Glasgow Warriors.
