Aughrim RFC, one of Ireland's newest rugby clubs, will host their inaugural Golf Classic later this month to raise funds for the club, GOAL and the Charitable Trust.

Ballymena RFC have presented a cheque for 12,500 euro to the IRFU Charitable Trust for seriously injured players. The money was raised at an Ulster Lions Legends Gala Dinner in Belfast City Hall earlier this year.

This year's IRFU Charitable Trust O2 Rugby Ball was held in the Burlington Hotel on the eve of the Ireland v Scotland Six Nations match last weekend.

Many of Ulster and Irish rugby's greatest ever players gathered together at Belfast City Hall last Friday to celebrate the proud heritage of Ulster players past and present who have been selected to play for one of the most famous touring sides of all-time, the British & Irish Lions.
