THE URSC INFORMATION POINT

THE URSC INFORMATION POINT

Many thanks to the 1129 fans who joined URSC in 2015/16 – thank you all!

The URSC Information Point situated within the food village opposite the Kukri shop has proved a huge hit with fans - fill in your membership forms, sign up for away trips, get your tickets for the BBQ... or simply come over for a chat. We usually also have a player there to sign autographs or share in selfies...at the Scarlets match it was Rob Herring. Who will be there today? At the Connacht match our friends from the Connacht Clan presented URSC with a piece of Connacht Bog Oak crafted by Westies’ player Ronan Loughrey. URSC gave the Clan a URSC paperweight. So who within the Ulster squad has impressed this season? » » Rob Herring has been a regular stand in skipper and such is his ability in the loose stand out back row! » » Franco van der Merwe has been a model of consistency whilst partnering Tuohy, Browne, Diack, O’Connor & Stevenson in the ‘row » » Nick Williams has been back to his barnstorming best… we are gonna miss him » » Paddy Jackson , unwanted by Ireland, has used his consistent game time to pull the strings for Ulster » » Stuart McCloskey has been immense throughout the season, deservedly getting his first Irish cap and Twickenham - a performance that should earn him further international recognition » » Craig Gilroy , another deemed not good enough for Ireland, continues to use his dancing feet to score regularly for Ulster » » Luke Marshall has put his injuries behind him and has put in a series of fine Ulster performances meriting a return to the Irish squad These are just some of the Ulster players that have shone this season – but the choice of player is yours. All Ulster players are eligible to be voted for by URSC members. YOU CHOOSE – THEY WIN! You can vote at the URSC Information Point at the Leinster match on 30th April or by email to ulsterrugbysupportersclub@hotmail.com (putting “Player of the Year” as the subject). Closing date is midnight on Thursday 5th May. URSC PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015/16
