mobanmarketAROUND 16 MONTHS after playing their first game in the newly renovated Kingspan Stadium (then Ravenhill), Ulster Rugby have today cut the ribbon on the final and perhaps most important part of their home.
The Nevin Spence Centre was formally opened today as an education and heritage showcase housed within the ground’s Memorial End stand on the north east side of the field.
Spence was 22 when he tragically lost his life in a farming accident along with his brother Graham and Father Noel on 15 September 2012.

“The Nevin Spence Centre will bring children from all over the North and from all backgrounds to Kingspan Stadium and will allow them to learn new skills in a very fun environment,” said sports minister Carál Ní Chuilín.
