Ulster Rugby, Ulster GAA and the Irish FA recently held a Game of Three Halves in Cavan as part of its 'Sport Uniting Communities' programme, an EU PEACE IV funded initiative which aims to promote peace and reconciliation.
The collaborative project between the three bodies hopes to reach 17,000 people of differing backgrounds, particularly across the political divide, with the aim of changing perceptions and building sustained relationships.
The programme has already achieved significant success with over 3,000 participants engaged in at least one of its initiatives.
The Game of Three Halves (GO3H) is one of the flagship initiatives within the programme, which offers participants the opportunity to try rugby, football and Gaelic football. The GO3H has been successfully delivered to more than 600 participants at 11 venues across the Province, including Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Ederney, Newry, Belfast and Strabane and Derry-Londonderry.
