The IRFU (Ulster Branch) has teamed up with the Donnelly Motor Group to provide a platform for local rugby clubs to help themselves raise, potentially, over £350,000 for grassroots rugby.
The ‘Your Club Your Country’ initiative will enable the 44 registered rugby clubs in Northern Ireland, including Cooke to boost club finances by selling tickets for a competition to name the greatest Ulster team of the professional era.
Humphreys, Pienaar, Ward, Ferris… the competition will no doubt be discussed at length at rugby grounds around the Province, as fans try to match the selection of a media panel.
The prizes are truly fantastic with the Donnelly Group kindly donating a new car as first prize and the IRFU putting up a long list of amazing rugby packages and tickets.

Competition tickets (limited to 800 per club) priced £10 will be sold through Cooke members with all proceeds going straight to the club.
To get your entry forms contact Sam McVicker 07855 453641
The winner will be announced on Tuesday 15th January 2013.
