Sigerson Cup 2024

Is Glass doing a bona fide degree or is he another perennial student like Jim McGuinness who had more degrees than a compass.

McGuinness has 1 degree only. He did lesser qualifications in Tralee then got his degree at UU and did a masters in Liverpool which he didnt finish. Best to stick to the facts instead of cheap headlines.

Yes - UUJ have previously won the competition but Ulster University is a new entity combining Magee, Coleraine and maybe a few other campuses.

The Poly covers all bases..

Would be useful for UU players to win the Sigerson. They'd at least have something worthwhile to put on their CVs.

Do the BIFHE guys still tog out for UU?

There were a fair few of them kicking about back in my time.

Will be no Conor Glass and Ethan Doherty for tomorrows Sigerson cup final according to  Ulster University manager Barry Dillon

"They were very keen to get involved, they were happy to play, it's just the timing of it," "We were talking to them before they even finished the Derry club championship, they were in with us before that. They were in with us during the Ulster championship then and they won that.

"Then they went on to the All-Ireland club semi-final and final and fair play to them they won it. They went down then to play in the National League in Kerry, they were kind of running on empty a bit.

"So they missed out on our quarter-final and then it was too late really, it was too late to start bringing boys in for just a final, I just wouldn't do it for any team. It's not the way to do it. Conor is actually away on holidays at the minute, they're away on holidays and they're taking time out, the Glen boys, and much deserved."

They certainly did within the last few years anyway.

Magee, Coleraine etc have always been part of UU. It's not a "new" entity at all.

Incorrect. The new entity now legally selects whatever players it wants from all campuses and if you're not involved with the mothership first team you can play with the campus teams in the lower grades.

Obviously that's a change from when they would select those campus players anyway as UUJ and not declare it!

Lads let's deal in facts and not snobbery
Ulster University was established in 1984 with four campuses Coleraine, Magee, Belfast and Jordanstown. Jordanstown now closed and only sports facilities remain in use.
Students from Magee and Coleraine could also play for Belfast. However due to the distance for training very few do.
This rule was clarified after a successful appeal to allow Stranmillis student Martin Clarke to play for Queens. The same way St Pats Drumcondra is now part of DCU.
Magee,Coleraine and Stranmillis have campus teams in the lower divisions.
You can only play for one campus
Example Coleraine or Belfast.
Queens or Stranmillis.

Facts are important.
Ulster University was not established in 1984. The University of Ulster was established in 1984. It was rebranded as Ulster University in 2014.

As far as I remember, playing against Magee, Coleraine,stand alone teams.UUJ had a 3rd teams in the lower Division with an odd few county men ringers. It was always UUJ,didn't think anybody from another campus not on a course there could play there.

Fact
Again you are correct.
University of Ulster was established in 1984 and remains University of Ulster by Charter.
Ulster University is now the brand name.

2-1 in a minute for Ulster University to lead 2-3 to 0-2 after 15 minutes.
