Johnston signs off in style

You may not know this but a legendary figure within Irish sport retired yesterday. Trent Johnston’s career in the green shirt came to a fitting end with a 122 run victory over Afghanistan in Dubai.

Forced to watch from the sidelines due to an Achilles injury, the former captain left the game in this country in a far better position than when he found it.

Fittingly current captain William Porterfield honoured the all rounder by stepping aside to let his colleague pick up the trophy, and his fourth winners medal in this competition.
