We would like to acknowledge the hard work of all the players and the support given to them by Mr Reilly and Mr Donohoe during the year. Thank you to all the supporters who travelled in large numbers and encouraged the players. It is a great achievement to win a second Ulster Final for this panel of players – heartiest congratulations to all involved.
