MASCOTS
TONIGHT’S MASCOTS
MATTHEW McGREEVY
(10)
Matthew is from Newtownabbey and attends
Whiteabbey Primary School. He plays mini
rugby at Academy RFC and also enjoys
football, running and cycling. Matthew’s
favourite player is Craig Gilroy because he
brings a lot to the team and scores fantastic
tries. When he grows up Matthew would like
to play fullback for Ulster.
ELLEN BRADY
(12)
Ellen has a condition called Cornelia de Lange
Syndrome. It’s quite rare in Northern Ireland,
affecting about 20 children. She is non-verbal and
communicates using Makaton, which is a sign
language for children. Ellen lives at home with her
two brothers who are big rugby fans and is here
representing them today as they are both too
old to be mascots! She attends Rathore Special
Care School in Newry and enjoys playing with her
friends, playing on her iPad and going on holidays.
