At 35,000 that must work out at over 2,300 club teams playing every week..
If I'm a member at 2 clubs in Ulster and 1 in London. What am I?
Being a member and being a registered player is two different things are they not? You can't be registered in two unions unless one of those teams is a university and your a current student, and only then can you play for the university ,

Russ , are you in arrears with your club subs? If not your earning too much money son.
We always feel like we should be earning more

I'm also registered as a full time student

Average of about 50 fixtures total involving adult teams in Ulster clubs each week (ulster Branch website) which would equate to approx 1500 adult players-being a member of a club the adult game has diminished shockingly in the last number of years-mini rugby is a big catch but to be honest is a creche facility in a lot of cases and is there any throughput into the clubs later once they move on?

But, you have to be wrong, adult rugby is thriving in Ulster with more games than ever being played.

I would say the Sperrins around Dungiven and you could check the South Armagh hills and best check the Cooley mountain as well just in case Leinster have borrowed some for the annual head count, mind you the ones you find in South Armagh might have been borrowed from Leinster in which case there won't be any on Cooley if you get my drift, best to send out a letter with notice that you intend to do a head count so the figure match up and pray Leinster don't check their number on the same day.
When you are checking the Sperrins ones watch out for lorries with DL plates dropping some off and don't count them twice when you head to Donegal, neither lot up there realise they are part of Ulster !

Surely they just make those numbers up. Nobody really cares.

I asked one of those nice little committee members and they tell me 4,700 registered players. A long way short of the 35,000 players claimed but as you say who apart from the KPI's checkers actually cares… Gone are the days anyhow when you could be picked out playing for your club and find yourself in the Ulster team. Its now all about being picked out at schools level and fed into the system.. no real room for late development..

I already own ALL those except for the Armagh one (in which I would not be seen dead).

That is neither the City or County coat of arms, it's the GAA version

Some rare wans there. The white NI one with green and orange font is interesting and Scotch Irish :scratch: Must be something to do with whiskey.

Probably half of them designed by Trump voters.
