All new and existing Ulster Rugby MasterCard holders, who used their cards at least once between 1st March and 30th April 2009, were entered into the draw to win signed Ulster Rugby merchandise.

Ian MacDonnell, Bank of Ireland, Affinity Channel Manager said: “Bank of Ireland has built a strong relationship with Ulster Rugby and has been a major sponsor of the team for almost a decade. Ulster Rugby launched the Ulster Rugby MasterCard with Bank of Ireland in March 2007 allowing holders of the MasterCard to join a reward scheme to win fantastic prizes that rugby fans will love. The latest competition of the 08/09 season was better than ever as there were three lucky winners of signed merchandise, rather than one.”

First prize winner Robin Cole commented: “I am delighted with this fabulous prize from Bank of Ireland and please to get the opportunity to meet some of the players, as I am a keen Ulster Rugby supporter. I’ve had an Ulster Rugby MasterCard since 2008 and it’s great how Bank of Ireland is helping grow and support rugby in Ulster. As a past president for Ards Rugby Club, I have seen direct benefits from the card to rugby at grass roots level. I look forward to a next season under the guidance of the new Ulster Rugby Management Team”.

Second prize winner was Mrs Jacqui Jeavons who received a signed Ulster Rugby ball while the third prize of a signed photo of Stephen Ferris was won by Gary Lambe.
