The Ulster Ravens’ side for this Friday’s British & Irish Cup game against Neath (Shaws’ Bridge, 7pm) has been named, and will be captained by TJ Anderson.
The Ravens got their 2010-11 campaign off to a winning start back in October, defeating Swansea 32-12 at St Helens but suffered defeat in their second pool match against Bedford Blues played at their Goldington Road venue in December.
With the Ravens’ home tie against Moseley postponed prior to Christmas due to the weather, the side, managed by Gary Longwell will be looking to get their campaign back on track this Friday night when they take on Neath at Shaws’ Bridge.
Ulster Ravens: (15-9) Jamie Smith; Tommy Seymour, Jonny Shiels, Luke Marshall, Craig Gilroy; Patrick Jackson, Ian Porter (1-8) Conor Carey, Andi Kyriacou, Jerry Cronin, Neil McComb, Ryan Caldwell, Ali Birch, David McGuigan, TJ Anderson (Captain)
Replacements (16-22) Niall Annett, Kyle McCall, Ian Henderson, Paul Pritchard, Michael Heaney, Niall O’Connor, Mark McCrea
Shaws’ Bridge was designated as the venue for this game, to ensure the Ravenhill surface is in tip top condition for Ulster’s Heineken Cup tie against Biarritz on Saturday.
Supporters wishing to go along to the Ravens’ match will not be able to pay admission into the game on Friday night, but tickets are available to purchase from the Ulster Rugby Ticket Office or over the phone (028 9049 3222 Options 2) priced at £12 adults or £6 children.
Admission is included as part of the Ulster Rugby 2010-11 Season Ticket, however season ticket holders will need to pick up a (free) ticket for admission, from the Ravenhill Ticket Office in advance of the game.
It’s a strong, and exciting, looking team but after singing their praises all season only for them to be well and truly done over by the Bedford Blues I think I’ll reign it in a bit this week 
In fact, I’d such a busy weekend planned with Schools Cup games, the “Game of the Decade” on Saturday and a couple of Women’s games to cover on Sunday that I was actually going to give this one a miss given that the light would be pretty crap at Shaws’ Bridge anyway for the old instamatic so not much chance of usable pictures.
However having seen the team and with Jackson, Gliroy and McGuigan all starting and Henderson on a remarkably strong looking bench I think I’ll mosey along anyway and just have a bit of a night out and enjoy the game. Should be a good one!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
FYI I contacted Ravenhill earlier this afternoon and have been advised it will be possible to pay at the gate. However, don’t blame me if this advice is wrong and you cannot get i!!!!
Sure you can still throw your leg over the fence
