The website is typically the first point of contact for people who wish to find out information on the domestic game, which is why the Branch decided it was time to give it a fresh new look and to update it with the needs of the rugby public in mind.  Clubs and coaching sections are just two new features of the site, and the women's rugby and representative fixtures sections have also seen some changes. 

One of the most exciting new features is the ‘Seasonmaster’ under the referee’s section, which is where referees now log in. Season Master is a software package that allows the Branch to notify referees of matches via text messaging and email as opposed to standard mail.  The referees then text the results of their game to the Branch after the match and this automatically updates the league tables which are then emailed to the media.  The software also has an internal mail system (like email) which is useful for communication between the Branch, referees and clubs. 

If any media would like to avail of the seasonmaster system and receive domestic rugby results each weekend, please email Paula Gunn at paula@ulsterrugby.com with the email address you would like the results sent to.
