The Ulster players took some time out last week to visit two local hospitals and spread a little bit of festive cheer amongst some local children who will unfortunately have to spend this Christmas in hospital and not at home with their families.
Last Tuesday, Matt McCullough, Andrew Trimble and Paul Marshall were guests at the Musgrave Park Christmas Party and met both current patients as well as children who had stayed in the hospital during the year, while on Friday, Tommy Bowe, Neil McMillan and Paul Steinmetz dropped into the childrens' wards at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald meeting patients, their families and nursing staff.
