 | | The last regularly successful Catholic side, Belfast Celtic, resigned from the league in the late 1940s after players were assaulted on the pitch, the result of one fulfilled threat too many. |
 | | Other Belfast league clubs and their grounds are Crusaders (Seaview, off Shore Rd; bus #7-#11), Glentoran (The Oval Redcliffe Parade; bus #16, #20-#22, #24 down the Newtownards Road to Dee Street) and the surprising 1998 champions, the Catholic-supported Cliftonville (Solitude, Cliftonville Road; bus #35). |
 | | Belfast's rugby hero was Mike Gibson, Ireland's most-capped player, and top-class games are played by the Malone club at the park named after him off Woodstock Road (bus #33 and #34) and by Collegians at Deramore Park, Malone Road (bus #70 and #71). |
