Humphrey’s league winner in Cardiff will go down in history

DAVID HUMPHREYS’ dramatic Celtic League winning drop-kick has gone down as one of the most thrilling sporting images in the North’s history, Ulster’s rugby union heroes were told last night.

Northern Ireland Office Sports Minister Maria Eagle paid tribute to Mark McCall’s side at a special reception in Stormont’s Parliament Buildings marking last season’s Celtic League victory.

Former Ireland out-half David Humphreys clinched the title in a nail biting 19-17 away victory over the 2004/5 champions Neath-Swansea Ospreys, in Cardiff.
