1147 JOINED URSC THIS SEASON... MANY THANKS... SEE YOU NEXT SEASON!! URSC MEMBERSHIP 2016/17 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. URSC: PLAYER OF THE SEASON AWARD 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. 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.
