Ulster Rugby coaches delivered taster sessions at a 'Game of Three Halves' (GO3H) event this week at Seaview Stadium.
The children came from the Ardoyne, New Lodge and Shankill areas of North Belfast to play Gaelic football, rugby and association football through the ‘Together, Stronger’ programme organised by the 174 Trust.

Most of the participants had never touched a rugby ball before the session, and by the end of the day left with a new perception of the game. One participant said, “I’ve never even had the chance to play rugby before, but I like it.”
These opportunities have been made possible due to the generous support of the NI Executive and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure through the ‘Promoting Equality, Tackling Poverty and Social Exclusion through Sport’ Programme.
