"He tried to block it down Gaelic football style," says Colm Parkinson on Monday's GAA Hour Show. "He got enough pressure on it that the ball wasn't cleared that well...the corner forward won it and who was running off him only Chris Crummey still with no hurl? "It was the moment of the weekend..." "I think he thought he was going to get a try," adds JJ Delaney. "The Carlow lads came in on top of him then and he was kind of laughing like 'what else could I do?' Fair play to him, he stayed going. I tried that block down without a hurley before, but you're doing it on instinct more than anything - but at the end of it, you're just saying, thank God I didn't block that ball down - it's just stupid, you're trying to block a hurl with your hands, and there's only one winner there..."Crummey's a warrior though and Mattie Kenny will have been proud. Watch the Dublin man, in all his bravery and glory here, for 40 seconds of madness. Yes we know he took about 20 steps, but if ever a man deserved a penalty. He saw the funny side of it too. https://twitter.com/GAA__JOE/status/1229450733747163137 Elsewhere, whenever he wasn't putting his hands in the belting line, Crummey was playing centre forward for Dublin in an experiment that worked a treat. With his aerial prowess and accuracy, he's an archetypal centre forward and his versatility will give Mattie Kenny another option for the summer.
