Poor result for province (6)

I believe the answer is:

ulster

'for province' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'poor result' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'result' anagrammed gives 'ULSTER'.

(Other definitions for ulster that I've seen before include "Overcoat; former kingdom in Ireland" , "Overcoat; Northern Ireland" , "Region of Ireland" , "Historic Irish province; heavy overcoat" , "Man's overcoat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
