Facebook ‘friendly’ Ulster GAA
Everyone seems to be on Facebook these days and Ulster GAA is no different. We’ve been building a service for followers since January which has resulted in nearly 5,000 friends of the Ulster GAA Facebook page. It’s part of a combined social media initiative which includes videos on our YouTube channel and Twitter.
Exclusive video footage is gathered, edited, uploaded and shared on these platforms, as well as on the Ulster GAA website. In recent weeks, the reports have highlighted the superb work done by Gaelic4Mothers and Special Needs Gaelic Football, in addition to focussing on Championship games.
The appearance by Armagh minor hurlers in their first Ulster Final in 77 years features this week, while the first interview with Uachtarán Chomairle Uladh Aogán Ó Fearghail on the decision to take the Ulster Football Finals to Clones was made available to Ulster GAA web followers on Sunday evening.
Videos from the 2010 Championships have also featured views from respected former players, managers and referees, including Sean O’Neill, Danny Ball, Sean Boylan, Peter McGrath and Pat McEneaney.
