Centra Extends Ulster Rugby Partnership with U19s Sponsorship

10th September 2009

Centra Brand Manager Nicky Kelly joins Ulster U19 rugby players Jonathan Rowan, Stephen Irvine and Jonathan Corscadden to announce that Centra has extended its support of Ulster Rugby by becoming official sponsor of the Ulster U19 clubs’ team.

Since April 2008 Centra has sponsored the Ulster Rugby Summer Camps which take place throughout the province and the latest move to support the U19s is a result of the successful partnership between Ulster Rugby and Centra’s network of retailers. Almost 1,200 young people took part in the camps this summer.

The Ulster U19 clubs’ XV will kick off their Inter-provincial campaign against Leinster in Donnybrook, with a further two home matches taking place by the end of September. Following the Inter-provincial series, players will be eligible for selection for the Ulster U20s squad as well as the Irish U20 development squad which will train towards the Junior World Cup in 2011.

The new sponsorship deal involves branded kit for players, as well as match programme and on-pitch advertising at Ravenhill
