Ardmore will be without Ryan Brolly for the forseeable future with the top-order batter emigrating to Australia this Autumn.

The 26-year-old played a pivotal role as the Bleachgreen side won the NW Premiership for the first time in their 145-year history in 2023. 

However, a shoulder injury restricted his appearances this year, with the left-hander only playing eight times as Ardmore struggled to maintain their Premiership status, needing a play-off win over St Johnston on the final day of the season to survive.

Ryan qualified as a doctor in 2022, and was based in the Intensive Care Unit at Craigavon Hospital.

We wish him well Down Under..
