Ulster Rugby heroes, Paul Marshall, Ruaidhri Murphy and Peter Browne called in recently to the Centra Ulster Rugby Summer Camp at Belfast Harlequins, to give hints and tips to the budding young players attending the camp.  One lucky player, Xander Lowham aged 12 from Dromore, Co. Down received a special certificate in recognition of his playing skills.

Xander joined other local boys and girls at the five day camp to learn new skills and meet the visiting rugby heroes. All participants received a Summer Camp boot bag with T-shirt, Rugby ball and a voucher to claim a free ticket to an Ulster Game at the Kingspan Stadium.

Ulster Rugby Summer Camps, sponsored by independent retail group Centra, are taking place at 24 locations across Ulster this summer and will cater to almost 2,000 young players.

While most of the Summer Camps are for children aged 6-12, there are three camps tailored specially for Girls’ rugby, a special needs camp and the ever popular Senior Camp aimed at boys and girls aged 13-17 years old.
