BIG BALLOT
The Bursary (currently worth £2,500) is awarded
annually to an up-and-coming player in the
Ulster Rugby Academy. It is largely funded
through proceeds from our Big Ballot. This
year’s Big Ballot was drawn by Ruan Pienaar
on 7th December 2016 and the list of winners
of these terrific prizes, courtesy of our fantastic
and generous donors are listed below. The
URSC would like to thank our donors and
encourages our members to support these
businesses whenever possible.
