Ards Rugby President Ashley Peden and club secretary Ian Wallace recently attended the Titanic building to be presented with the prestigious Sports NI Clubmark accreditation.

Delivered by Ulster Rugby in partnership with Sport NI, Clubmark is Northern Ireland’s quality standard for community sports clubs, and demonstrates that a club provides a safe environment which ensures the welfare of members, encourages everyone to enjoy the sport and promotes lifelong involvement.

Ards Rugby, in particular Ian Wallace and Billy Dickson, has worked closely with Club Services staff over the last year to complete the accreditation.

Well done to all involved.
