Pity it's not a bit later as a spot of hunting to do and a duck shoot at dusk, hard to beat blood sports on a Saturday and great weather for it :D

As per Irish News - tickets available at gate. What a surprise.

Also Ravenhill used for camogie 90 years ago or so.

I don't believe that.
Surely the weemin wouldn't have been allowed to make such an exhibition of themselves in the 1920s. Who would have made the tea for feck's sake?

And what an embarrassment they are.

Don't see a single Ulster Rugby jersey amongst the support, which I find surprising.

The half time minis - one half of the pitch is mini rugby, CI against Quins. The other half is minis gaelic football. Great stuff.

Glad there are no fleg spides with Ulster shirts on, pack of banker though don't help for anyone who would be a bit sceptical of coming on a rugby night.

Ulster won by two points. Decent enough game, the intensity wasn't the highest but quite a few good bits of skill.
