URSC MEMBERSHIP 2016/17
The URSC was delighted to present the
2016/17 Jack Kyle Bursary to Robert Lyttle at
the Cardiff match.
Commenting on the award, URSC Chair
Jonathan Bill said “Rob has already shown
he has an eye for the try line and, as a bonus,
is impressive from the tee too. Hopefully this
award will help him to kick on with his rugby
career here at Ulster!”
Rob joins Craig Gilroy, Paddy McAllister, Mark
McCrea, Ian Whitten, Iain Henderson, Stuart
Olding, Angelo Marica, Alan O’Connor, Adam
McBurney and Dave Shanahan as previous
Bursary recipients.
JACK KYLE BURSARY
We were delighted to present Jacob
Stockdale with the URSC Player of the Month
Award for January and February sponsored
by Crystal Clear.
It was also good news for Craig Patton
from Doagh, whose name was drawn from
those who voted for Jacob and won an Iain
Henderson signed Ireland cap.
URSC PLAYER OF THE MONTH
SPONSORED BY CRYSTAL CLEAR
The URSC Player of the Season is voted
for by URSC members. The winning player
receives a magnificent bronze trophy
designed and created by local artist Bob
Sloan which features a bronze cast of a
hand grasping a rugby ball, and was first
awarded in 2005 to Matt McCullough.
From this season, the Player of the Season
Award will be sponsored by Gardiner
Brothers Jewellers of Waring Street,
Belfast.
Additionally from this season, not only will
the Player of the Season receive a superb
Ernest Borel Swiss watch courtesy of
Gardiners, but as a fantastic bonus for
URSC members, all those voting for the
winning player will be entered into a draw
and one lucky member will also win an
Ernest Borel watch courtesy of Gardiners!
The 2016/17 Player of the Season Award
will be presented at the Ulster Rugby
Awards Dinner later this evening. The
winner will join a very select band of
Ulstermen.
