A group of young GAA volunteers visited Kingspan Stadium on Saturday to experience what happens behind-the-scenes at an Ulster Rugby game.
The initiative, part of a joint sports project between Ulster GAA, the IFA and Ulster Rugby, aims to promote good relations among sports volunteers and to develop the volunteer experience and the skills associated.
Young people from Robert Emmet’s GAC Slaughtneil & St Colms Ballinascreen, accompanied by Ulster GAA Volunteer Development Officer Ashelene Groogan enjoyed a tour of the stadium and a photo opportunity with the Six Nations and Triple Crown Trophies.
They tried their hand at throwing a rugby ball in the Fan Zone before watching the Ulster v Glasgow game, while they also had an opportunity to meet some of the players, including Chris Henry (pictured above).
Ulster GAA will return the favour by welcoming volunteers from Ulster Rugby and the IFA to a Senior Football Championship game this summer.
