Divis Mountain came alive with hurlers and Camogs on the longest day of the year (Friday 21st June 2013) for O’Neills Ulster Poc Fada. Sean McBride from County Derry was crowned king of the mountain, while Donal Mc Kernan from County Antrim  lifted the U16 Hurling Poc Fada title and Catriona McCrickard and Amy Freer from County Down won Ulster Senior Camogie Poc Fada title and U16 Camogie Poc Fada.
