SPORT: Is now the perfect time to stage the Open in Northern Ireland?
Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Darren Clarke’s magnificent win at the weekend at the Royal St. George course in England has cemented Northern Ireland’s place as the current golfing capital of the world. Three major winners in thirteen months are from the north. Moreover six winners of the last seventeen majors have come from the island of Ireland. Surely the time is right for the Open championship to return to these shores for the first time in over half a century.

SPORT: The next best thing to having wings…
Monday, November 2nd, 2009
The Queen’s University Belfast Gliding Cub (QUBGC) gives you the opportunity to experience flying at low cost. The membership fee for one year is only £25. It includes instruction and flying in the club’s own K-13 two seat glider. The QUBGC uses aerotow to get the glider airborne. For a £22 launch charge the glider will be towed to 2000 feet by a motored airplane.

SPORT: Want to improve your pulling power?
Monday, November 2nd, 2009
“Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream, when the work stops, the dream disappears” – James Dietz
Indeed, the university rowing is built on the premise of dreams. No other sport at Queen’s allows you to show up at try-outs with no previous experience and become a potential part of an Olympic racing team! The Queen’s team training is intensive. During the cold winter months a Queen’s rower is expected to rise six out of seven mornings to perform cardio-vascular activities; alternatively, if they are not to be found pumping away in the PEC, they are pushing their bodies to unknown boundaries on the water. Other students sometimes find it a personal achievement to rise before eleven and make it to class on time.

SPORT: Unlucky Irish fail to hold Italy
Monday, October 12th, 2009
Ireland 2 – Italy 2
Geovanni Trappatoni’s men got off to the best possible start when Liam Lawrence’s squared free kick to Glenn Whelan met a sublime strike to put the hosts ahead. The Republic famously upset the Italians in 1994 by scoring early and holding out for the win. History would not repeat itself, however; just 17 minutes later the visitors were level when Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given fumbled a Mauro Camoranesi header at his near post from an Andrea Pirlo corner. The Italians, for whom a draw was sufficient, quite predictably shut up shop and held on to the ball without really testing Shay Given’s goal. The second half was to begin with Given picking the ball out of his own net again; fortunately for the Irish, however, Iaquinta’s header was ruled offside.
