Ulster sides in UBL

[Rooster]

Someone should give the kiwi agent a call and see where the job is

I see that Ulster's Strategy states that they will be placed 1st in the AIL by 2017... Two years ago it was World Domination.

Correct - Next year's coaching team is confirmed in the latter paragraphs of a very comprehensive review of the 14/15 season on the Armagh website http://www.armaghrfc.com/latestnews/latestnews.htm

I would be very surprised if Brian isn't assisting in some capacity at Armagh next year.

Why

[Rooster]

McGlocks has coached in Armagh but has not coached Armagh

[robrfc15]

I see the Ulster Senior League must have now been split into two sections

Section 1 consisting of the following teams:

Malone
Ballymena
City Of Derry
Armagh
Ballynahinch

Section 2 consists of:

Rainey OB
Dungannon
Banbridge
Queens
Belfast Harlequins

First Trust Senior Cup Draw :

Rainey v Queens
City Of Derry v Armagh
Ballymena v Banbridge
Belfast Harlequins v Dungannon
Ballynahinch v Bye
Malone v Bye

[BuckRogers]

I think it may then be re-split (is that even a word?) top 2 of each then playing home and away thereafter.

Something needed to be done tbf as it was (could yet still be) a farce.
