WATCH: An unbelievably accurate puck from this Cork hurler is nothing short of jaw-dropping

Rory Cashin

Seriously. Our jaws are on the floor.

If there was ever a polar-opposite to the Chandler Bing school of being completely incapable of throwing and/or catching anything, then this must be it.

JOE reader Kevin Murphy sent in this incredibly impressive video that really had us looking for a hidden edit.

20-year-old Kevin and his 24-year-old brother Dave are both from Killeagh in County Cork, and this weekend they decided to make the most of the sun while it was out (Remember when the sun was out this weekend? It already feels so long ago…)

Anyways, they both headed on a bit of a walk up the Mahon Falls in the Waterford mountains, and did a bit of hurling while they were up there, getting back in the swing of things for the upcoming junior and senior championships.

In the video, you can see Dave WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY in the distance, and he pucks the ball to Kevin, who manages to do a lot of things while also holding and recording everything that is going on.

Considering the distance, the wind, the angle and everything else at play here, we are seriously impressed.

Best of luck with the upcoming championships lads, but by the look of what we’re seeing here, it doesn’t seem like any luck will be needed!

Thanks again to Kevin Murphy for sending in this video.
