Ulster Teams 30+ Games in a season (there are less than 30 weeks in a season) Connacht, Munster & Leinster 20+ Games That A 30% Difference!<\/p>\n
Some people have averaged a figure of 30 games per season for Ulster players. The factual basis of this comes from counting up the numbers of games. <\/p>\n
A little bit of asking questions and comparing with other players experience in other provinces reveals that Ulster Players are playing something in the region of 30+ games in a season with plenty of them involved in 34 games. The season is something like 25 weeks so the question is from a health and safety perspective how is this possible?<\/p>\n
A lot of clubs will be on a break for 4 weeks now in the UBL leagues, and other provinces clubs have confirmed their teams will be involved in a max of 1 game, while Ulster players being asked to play every weekend. The same figures apply in KQ leagues.<\/p>\n
The UBL format guarantees clubs 18 games in Connacht, Munster and Leinster + a few domestic cup games. If a team gets through to a playoff or semis they will have a few extra games.<\/p>\n
Whereas in Ulster the teams are playing 30 games and if they get through to a playoff in a cup this rises to maybe 34 games or more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
