Ulster Rugby, The Ulster Men Standing Up

Irish Rugby lost a major asset to their sport in the form of Nevin Spence who sadly passed away along with his Brother and Father in an extremely unfortunate farming accident. The reason so many of the family died is because...they all tried to save each other. This story is one of deep tragedy, of such sorrow in both the Rugby and Northern Irish community.
                      I came across this article today in the BBC and it explains how faith has been used to comfort the ulster rugby team in trying to come to terms with the loss of their player Nevin. It appears that the captain and many of the Ulster players hold faith at high regard in their lives. At the Spence funeral, the brothers and father were described as "best friends" , and so many good words were spoken of them all. The faith of the family since this heart-breaking tragedy is most definitely something to be admired. Reading articles about the Spence family and seeing even in such a thing as the BBC about how much faith they had is incredible, and i know it must have been an honor for those who experienced the family in real life.
                     This story of love and faith makes me extremely proud to call myself Northern Irish, and makes me extremely proud of the people who live there. My thoughts and prayers are with the Spence family who have encountered such an extreme loss, but their steadfast faith through this is nothing short of completely admirable and inspirational. Stand Up For The Ulster Men. The Ulster Men who stood for their faith.
