To mark its 25th year, the Quinn Direct Ulster GAA Writers' Association has selected Ulster Jubilee football and hurling teams from all its award winners over the past 25 years. Some 150 footballers and close to 40 hurlers have collected the coveted Belleek vase since 1988, so the choosing of the final line-ups caused some lively debate amongst the writers.

The jubilee team will join the Ulster GAA Writers and guests at the Jubilee Banquet at the Great Northern Hotel, Bundoran on December 7. A number of tickets are still available for the night.

The 150-plus footballers were 'shortlisted' down to 51 from whom the 'starting 15' will be picked. The jubilee team will join the Ulster GAA Writers and guests at the Jubilee Banquet at the Great Northern Hotel, Bundoran on December 7. A number of tickets are still available for the night.

Ulster Gaels' big night out!

Tickets are now on sale for the 23rd Ulster GAA Writers' Association Banquet which will be held this year in the Slieve Russell Hotel, Co Cavan.

The Quinn Insurance Ulster GAA Writers Banquet is the only awards ceremony that honours players from all codes as well as grass-roots Gaels.

There is plenty to celebrate this year with Down's run to the All-Ireland SFC final, Tyrone lifting the minor title, Antrim's hurlers regaining their place amongst the sport's big guns, Armagh's rise up the hurling ranks, St Galls' march to All Ireland glory, the ladies of Tyrone and Donegal on the All Ireland stage, Paul Brady continuing to set the world handball benchmark and the Saffron camógs' All Ireland among the Ulster success stories.

As usual a star-studded guest list from all codes will celebrate all that is good in Gaelic games in the province in 2010. Tickets are priced £50 or €60 and are available by contacting Tony McGee at tony.mcgee@btinternet.com or visit www.ulstergaawriters.com for full details.
