Ireland and Ulster Captain Rory Best was in Newry this week as the Guest of Best Property Services at their annual Business lunch.

From a celebrated rugby and farming family in Pontzpass, brought up in the ranks of Banbridge RFC, Rory spoke to the audience of Best Property Services clients and professional contacts about his career - from joining Ulster in 2004 and making his Irish debut the following year to a historic Grand Slam, Triple Crowns and Lions selection at international level.
Garry Best, Rory’s uncle said: “I’m delighted and very proud to welcome my nephew, Ireland and Ulster Captain Rory Best to the stage today. He is one of the most highly respected figures in Irish rugby and has matured into one of the game’s most athletic, inspiring and enduring forwards.
