JUNIOR BT CROSSBAR CHALLENGE BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

After the success of last season's themed Crossbar Challenge events, BT, Official Communications partner of Ulster Rugby, is once again giving junior supporters the opportunity to take part in this year's only Junior BT Crossbar Challenge, ahead of the September 16th game against Scarlets at Kingspan Stadium.

Match day ticket holders aged between 12 and 16 who think they've got what it takes to be the next Paddy Jackson or Ruan Pienaar can enter by sending their name, date of birth, address, school, and a short note (no more than 100 words) on why they should be chosen to take part, to btcrossbarchallenge@psgcomms.ie. Entry closes at 23.59pm Wednesday September 14th.

Five young Ulster supporters will take to the field and kick for the crossbar from the 22-metre line for a chance to win £1,000 worth of rugby equipment for their school and £500 in cash.

Four contestants will be selected through direct entry to btcrossbarchallenge@psgcomms.ie with a fifth contestant selected by Q Radio – tune into Q Radio for more information.
