All of those players from the very strong Ballymena team that won the medallion shield a couple of years back.

Lack of Ulster players is actually a real strength for Armagh. Unlike other ulster teams in the league they are able to put out a consistent team weekly with very few changes which definitely helps with cohesion and understanding as a team.

Where are they now? recent Ireland u18 forwards Prop Daniel Kealey(Campbell) Tom O’Toole(Campbell) Callum Reid(RBAI) Hooker Conor McEvoy(Sullivan) Alex Clarke(Ballymena) John McKee(Campbell) Tom Stewart(BRA) Lock Matthew Dalton(BRA) John McCusker(Rainey OB) Conor McMenemin(Letterkenny) Backrow Jona...

i see Zac Ward is off to Worcester..

He’s in their squad for the premiership 7s

Queens giving him a bursary or scholarship type thing is what I’ve heard

Adam mcburney joining malone from Ballymena, Angus Kernohan to queens as well apparently. Two big losses for the braidmen

Matty Agnew scored a hat trick for Ballymena yesterday, looked very impressive. As did Azur Allison, big lump of a lad and very dynamic, I have high hopes for him.
Imagine both will be in the academy next year.

Have it from a reliable source one off to Bristols the other Exeter

What does the Ulster Rugby depth chart currently look like?

Ballymena picked up what could be a vital bonus point win come the end of the season

Thought Matt Rea looked excellent when he came on
