Ross Allen is returning to play for Waringstown in 2025.

The 28 year-old played for The Lawn side 22 times in 2022 and 2023, but missed all of the 2024 campiagn due to living and working in Liverpool.

The return of the left-arm spinner and left-handed batter is a welcome boost for the league champions adding to their already impressive armoury.

Allen, who also played for Eglinton, Brigade the Warriors, took 35 wickets at just over 20 for Waringstown, with a best bowling effort of 6 for 29 against Cliftonville Academy.
