The Officers and staff of Ulster GAA were delighted to welcome Chinese Consul General in Belfast Madame Zhang Meifang, along with Consuls Mr Zhang Peng and Mr Zhao Shencheng to Ceannarás Uladh Armagh on Wednesday.

Madame Zhang and the Chinese delegation were taken through a presentation on the work of Ulster GAA across the province and the role of the GAA in local communities.

A welcome reception was also held in the Marketplace Theatre where the delegation enjoyed the entertainment provided by the Armagh Rhymers, All Ireland Scór na nÓg solo singing champion Aoife Trainor from Clonduff GAC and dancers from St Malachy’s Primary School, Armagh.

In welcoming the officials, President Oliver Galligan said:
