Материал из Онлайн справочника
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox rugby team The 2009–10 Ulster Rugby season was Ulster's 16th season since the advent of professionalism in rugby union, and their first under director of rugby David Humphreys and head coach Brian McLaughlin.
Following the departure of previous head coach Matt Williams, Ulster put a new management structure in place. David Humphreys was director of rugby, with overall responsibility for the senior team, the Ulster 'A' team (renamed the Ulster Ravens), the Ulster under-20s and the academy; and Brian McLaughlin was head coach, assisted by forwards coaches Jeremy Davidson and Peter Sharp, and backs coach Neil Doak.[1] However, Ulster couldn't afford to retain Sharp, and he left in September 2009.[2]
Chief Executive Michael Reid announced he was stepping down in September 2009 after twelve years in the job.[3] Shane Logan was appointed as his replacement in early 2010.[4]
They finished second in their Heineken Cup pool, failing to qualify for the knockout stage, and 8th in the Celtic League. Chris Henry was Ulster's Player of the Year. Andrew Trimble won the IRUPA award for Try of the Year.[5]
