‘Not bad for a wee lad from Broughshane’: Josh Rock revelling in NI’s World Cup joyJosh Rock and Daryl Gurney won the World Cup of DartsMidway through our interview, Josh Rock politely asks if we can take a quick break – a fan has stopped him in the airport and asked for a picture. He'd better get used to it. It tends to come with the territory of being a World Cup winner.

A day after line-mate Scott Conway was announced as the first returnee for the new season, the 33-year-old American has followed suit to complete two-thirds of the Giants’ dynamic top line that is rounded out by dead-eye winger J.J. Piccinich. An experienced operator who has iced in the Finnish Liiga and Sweden’s second division, the Allsvenskan, former Giants captain Goodwin has signed back for his sixth season with the organisation where he has become a fan favourite.

Northern Ireland legend Gareth McAuley says he considers it a “real honour” to be the one who will open this year’s Budget Energy SuperCup NI. The former defender, who was one of the country’s infamous ‘Kings of Lyon’ when they defeated Ukraine at Euro 2016, will lead the 62 teams through the streets of Coleraine on July 27 before declaring the tournament open at the Showgrounds.

The rampaging number eight, who broke through last season with some barnstorming performances in Ulster’s back row, looks likely to miss the majority of the 2025/26 season after suffering the problem. It is cruel timing for McNabney, who had just been called up to the Ireland squad for their summer Tests against Georgia and Portugal as a training member and was expected to kick on in his sophomore season at Ravenhill.

Another potential departure from the @BelfastGiants as Eishockey News are reporting that DEL2 side ESV Kaufbeuren are keen on Joe Cassetti. The 26-year-old played just four games last season, scoring three goals and four points, before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. https://t.co/OzpmOmvxnE
Unless this hole plays at least 70 yards downhill, this is ridiculous. I'm a strong believer that you should never hit more than an iron into a par-3, let alone a driver - more ways than length to make a hole challenging.
