Sporting Memories in Lisburn

26 October 2026

Sport has a wonderful way of bringing people together, and our Sporting Memories event in Lisburn on 26 October was a lovely example of that.

USL Co-Directors Lady Mary Peters and Nigel Carr joined fellow ULS sporting Ambassadors Jim Kirkwood and Mike Bull, alongside Sporting Memories and Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, for a day celebrating Ulster's sporting heritage, sharing memories and enjoying plenty of conversation, activities and smiles.

Lady Mary Peters and British & Irish Lion Nigel Carr attended in their roles as of USL and two of our sporting Ambassadors, Jim Kirkwood and Mike Bull also joined the event.
