What a brilliant night for 12 of our Hinch U12s who recently got the chance to play at the Affidea Stadium, taking on a strong Armagh side at half-time during Ulster's game against Edinburgh!

The boys and coaches had a great time from the minute they arrived from watching the players come into the changing rooms while enjoying the build-up and soaking up the atmosphere. Before the match started they got to form the tunnel to welcome the teams onto the pitch before kick-off!

When half-time came it was their turn to take centre stage and the boys certainly made the most of it! Three tries in quick succession got them off to a flying start and they showed some great skills and teamwork to come away with a 3–2 win!

Of course once the half-time rugby was over the boys were straight off hunting down the Ulster players for autographs by getting everything from shirts to flags signed and plenty of pictures to take home!

It was great to see so many parents, families and fellow teammates coming along to cheer them on and enjoy the occasion together. Nights like these are about much more than the rugby and hopefully it's something the boys will look back on with great memories for years to come.

A massive well done to all the boys for representing Hinch so proudly and a big thank you to Ulster Rugby for giving them such a fantastic opportunity!
