36 coaches from clubs and schools, 18 of which were female, attended a recent IRFU Stage 2 coaching course at the Mid-Ulster Sports Arena, Cookstown.
Ulster Rugby Coach Development staff Alistair Brown, Ricky Huey, Jamie Turkington, Chris Galway were supported by tutors – Glenda Mellon, Neal Johnstone, Joe Gallanagh, Jonny Gillespie, Marc Beggs and Brian Hughes. Four tutors - Glenda, Joe, Marc and Brian Hughes completed their IRFU training during the course.
This course has 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.
The Mid-Ulster Sports Arena, proved the perfect location and facility with the indoor 3G area. Ulster Rugby is very grateful to Oliver McShane and his staff for all their assistance during the course.
