"Beyond belief what he did there," said Colm Parkinson. "I don't think anything else from the season can even touch that," said Cian WardDaniel Flynn recently assured us he meant it. Watch and marvel. https://twitter.com/TheSundayGame/status/886610808666337280
"He was going nowhere," said Colm Parkinson. "He was able to turn and make some space and curl it over on his right foot," added Wooly.Down's leading light left Drew Wylie sitting with a swashbuckling double dummy, and the beautiful curling finish was something else. You can watch the magic unfold from 0:30 in the below video. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/891340341605011456
"I thought that was a beautiful score," said Colm Parkinson about Conor McCarthy's third white flag of the day against Down in their All-Ireland qualifier clash in Croke Park. "He threw a few dummy solos, went down the left wing and stuck it over on the outiside of his left," added Wooly.We were unable to find video footage of the score but the Monaghan youngster's effort deserves recognition.
"It was champagne football," began Wooly. "It was Anthony Maher with a cross-field ball into Paul Geaney who didn't even catch it, he just flicked it onto Michael Geaney who was running onto it at speed and just tapped it over the bar," he added. "A thing of beauty for a traditionalist like me," said the Laois man.Not bad from 0:10 in the below clip. https://twitter.com/officialgaa/status/881559209703288837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.ie%2Fsport%2Fgaelic-games%2Fgaelic-football%2Fkerry-cruise-to-fifth-straight-munster-final-victory-35886843.html
"James McCarthy's second one came at such an important time of the game. He started the ball about three or four feet outside the posts and had the confidence, knowing it was going to sneak back in. That took a lot of balls, he could have aimed for the middle of the goals and missed on the left, as well," said Wooly.You can watch these scores right here at 2:00 and 2:16.
"That one against Kerry was the most important, and the reason Mayo got to the final," said Conan Doherty. "Where on earth would Mayo be without Paddy Durcan?" asked the Derryman.Indeed, Durcan saved Mayo on many occasions during their 2017 season, but his late show against Kerry probably tops the lot. Pressure? Not for Paddy Durcan.
