Pat Freeman
Divisional Managing Director
Hello and welcome to Kingspan Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby. We are
delighted to host another exciting fixture this evening as we welcome the
return of the European Rugby Champions Cup to Belfast and tonight’s
opposition Exeter Chiefs.
Tonight’s fixture against Exeter Chiefs is sure to be a hotly contested affair with
both sides looking to improve on last weekend’s results in the opening round of
the competition. Ulster suffered a 25-19 pre-season friendly defeat at the hands
of Exeter but with European points at stake we can expect two very different
sides to take to the field tonight.
I would like to welcome the Exeter squad and travelling supporters to Kingspan
Stadium this evening. The Kingspan has become known for its warm welcome
and I have no doubt that that reputation will be built upon after tonight’s
match.
On behalf of Kingspan, I would like to wish the squad and management of Ulster
Rugby every success this evening. Enjoy the game, lead the way and help
ensure this is another Kingspan Stadium night to remember.
