The launch of the 2014 Ulster Senior Football, Hurling, Ladies Football and Camogie Championships took place last night, Wednesday 30th April, at the MAC (Metropolitan Arts Centre) Belfast.
Launching the Championships among an outstanding turnout of players, management and media were the Ulster GAA President Martin McAviney, Ulster Ladies Gaelic Chairperson Joe Lagan, Ulster Camogie Chairperson Bridghidin Heenan and GAA Ard Stiúrthóir Paraic Duffy.
There was a palpable air of anticipation at the launch with everyone involved looking forward to another colourful, exciting summer of Ulster Championship action.
Following feedback from GAA supporters, Ulster GAA took the decision to freeze ticket prices for the fifth year in a row as well as implementing a new strategy to increase access to tickets. The demand and anticipation for the Ulster Championships is already evident with online sales for the Derry v Donegal game selling out within a number of days. Club members will still have the opportunity to purchase tickets for this game via their County Board allocation, while tickets for all other first round Ulster Championship matches are still available to buy at gaa.tickets.ie
GAA Ard Stiúrthóir, Paraic Duffy was in attendance at the launch and commented:
"Ulster GAA are to be commended for the great work they do in marketing and promoting our games. They portray our games in a positive vibrant manner and are leading the way in this regard. I would also welcome the integrated approach taken by Ulster in both tonight's event and in incorporating ladies games as curtain raisers at Ulster Championship matches.
I thank the players and managers for their continued support and I ask both to continue the good working relationship we have with the media. We have an articulate group of players currently playing our games and the public wish to hear their opinions on various association matters and I ask that this be facilitated.
It is fantastic to see such a huge turnout of players at tonight's launch and I wish all teams well in their respective championships in 2014."
