Stand Up Magazine - Issue 38 - Ulster Rugby Supporters' Club

We also reported that part of the new sponsorship, all those URSC members who voted for the winning player would be entered into a draw to win an identical Ernest Borel watch! That draw was made by Les Kiss at the URSC AGM on 8 June, and Scott Moore was the lucky winner. Scott received his prize from Philip and Iain Warke of Gardiner Brothers at the pre-season friendly match v Wasps at Kingspan Stadium in August. Scott expressed his delight on receiving his prizes saying , “I feel very fortunate that my entry for last year’s Player of the Season competition was chosen and that as a result I became the lucky recipient of these fabulous prizes. I will treasure both, especially given the unique connection to a player whom I admired so much. I would also like to express my appreciation to Gardiner Brothers Jewellers, the sponsors of these fabulous prizes”. In addition to the magnificent watch, Scott also received a framed copy of the Stan Dupp cartoon presented to Ruan – this one signed by the man himself, thanking Scott for voting for him. Many readers may be aware that in years gone by, Gardiner Brothers had a strict trade card entry policy due to their heritage as a wholesale Jeweller. In more recent times however, due to changing shopping patterns, that policy has been relaxed, but their pricing policy has remained the same, allowing you to purchase a complete range of products at wholesale prices which are between 30% and 50% less than the manufacturer’s suggested selling price.

In the last issue of Stand Up we reported that Ruan Pienaar had been voted the URSC Player of the Season, and in addition to the bronze trophy had also picked up an Ernest Borel Swiss watch courtesy of new sponsors Gardiner Brothers Jewellers of Waring Street, Belfast.
