UUJ

This year Ulster University Gaels will mark 50 years since its first Gaelic teams took to the field.

BACK IN THE DAY The Irish News - Thursday February 18 2010: Ulster University, Jordanstown lifted the Ladies Football Division One colleges league title in Inniskeen on Tuesday night with a 1-11 to 1-2 win over Dublin outfit UCD.

JORDANSTOWN freshers remain on course for a hat-trick of Freshers A and B football titles after the A side defeated UCC in the semifinal by 2-17 to 1-11 in Dublin yesterday.

Over 50 sixth form students lined out recently for a hugely-successful initiative at the Ulster University in Jordanstown, outside Belfast.

WHEN Rory Murray arrived to his father’s homeplace of Desertmartin as an 11-year-old, he had literally never heard of Gaelic football.

The camogs of Ulster University, Jordanstown were among the teams celebrating after the dust had settled on an exciting Ashbourne Cup camogie festival weekend.

A look back at sporting events in The Irish News on this date 20 years ago...

UUJ failed to read the script at Kingspan Breffni Park as they came, saw and conquered in a riveting Dr. McKenna Cup third round joust.

RYAN McHUGH drove a late stake through the heart of his native county with a typical flicked goal in the 74th minute to seal a superbly entertaining affair in Sean Mac Cumhaill Park on Sunday.

The phrase “climb every mountain” will certainly apply to Declan Bonner’s “babes” as they take on the gaelic juggernaut that is UUJ in MacCumhaill Park on Sunday.
