Partner at Millar McCall Wylie and former Ulster player, Jan Cunningham, said the firm was proud to be supporting the competition again, “The Junior Cup is a wonderful competition which provides a great platform for club players to make a name for themselves. With the final being played at Kingspan Stadium, it is also a fantastic opportunity for club players to play at the home of Ulster Rugby.
“Last year, Dromore won the competition after a hard fought and high-quality final against rivals, Ballynahinch Seconds. The Barban Hill club considers this success as one of their best ever, which shows the regard clubs have for the Junior Cup.”
Neil Hanna, Head of Commercial at Ulster Rugby, commented on the renewal of the partnership: “Millar McCall Wylie has been a fantastic supporter of rugby in Ulster and we are delighted to continue our long association with the firm for another two years. As well as being a valued sponsor, Millar McCall Wylie has also provided high quality legal services to Ulster Rugby over a number of years.
“The Junior Cup is one of our most competitive and prestigious domestic rugby competitions. We look forward with excitement to watching the action unfold as the teams battle it out for a place in the showpiece final at Kingspan Stadium in the New Year.”
