Ulster must stand up for its valuable club competitions

It’s not just Unionists who have a deep-rooted pride in their northern identity. Ulster Gaels also possess a loyalty to their province which simply doesn’t exist in the other green fields.

Consider some of the organisations and events which exist in Ulster GAA circles.

There is the Ulster GAA Writers’ Association. There is no corresponding body in Leinster, Connacht or Munster. The same applies to The Ulster Colleges’ All Star Awards and The Irish News Ulster All Stars.
