“I would like to extend our welcome to the new multi-sponsors, Vodafone, Ulster Bank and Toyota, and also to the representatives of the Ulster Ladies Football Council who are launching their Championships in conjunction with the Senior Football Championship for the first time. We once again look forward to another summer and what promises to be one of the most open and exciting Ulster Senior Football Championships for many years.”
