A spokesperson said: “The athletes had a great time at the games and represented Ulster brilliantly with a high level of sportsmanship displayed by all. One of these gold medal winners will be chosen to represent Ireland at the world games in Abu Dhabi 2019 and Coleraine RDA will support with training and coaching.”
