Help identifying pipe band c1914

Hi all
I was sent a picture of my geat granduncle many years ago (the picture is'nt great) who was one of the drummers.
The picture is the name of the pipe band but I cannot make it out. Sadly the relative who sent it to me has since passed away.
Can anybody please help me work out the name?
The great granduncle in question was a Roman Catholic and lived off the Falls road area if that helps.

The first two words may be in Irish, I'm thinking the second might be Ulaidh, for example, along the lines of 'Something of Ulster' or 'Something of Ulaid'. Just a guess.

It does look similar to that. I'll have to see if there is a pipe band with that name. I regret not asking him now what he wrote.

I didn't think to check Irish names.
