The bowling world marked the incredible achievements of Michael Toal, winner of a record ten All-Ireland senior men’s titles, with the unveiling of a plaque at the start of the Keady-Tassagh road, before last weekend’s All-Ireland finals.

Toal had a particular connection to Keady-Tassagh. He won his first final there in 1988 and his last one in 2009, having won the u18 All-Ireland there in 1987. He is the only player to ever win U18 and senior finals back-to-back. He won many other honours too including King of the Roads, Joe McVeigh Cup, and a World championship.
