Ambrose Rogers

Gaelic footballer

Ambrose Rogers is a Gaelic footballer for Down. He was captain in 2010 when Down played in the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.

An Ulster All-Star in 2010, he was paired with Dick Clerkin in midfield.^[6] He was part of the Match for Michaela.
