Armagh’s Ethan Rafferty will have two All-Ireland engagements on the same weekend, one in Dublin and one in Cork, following his emphatic victory in last night’s Ulster Intermediate bowling final at Keady-Tassagh.

He was Armagh’s flamboyant goalie until an injury ended his season in 2023. He is still a key member of that panel, which takes on Kerry in the All-Ireland football semi-final in Croke Park on Saturday week.
