Video: The weirdest and most difficult carnival game ever has been found in Tipperary

Introducing "Bash the Rat"

Introducing “Bash the Rat.”

The New Inn Festival took place in Tipperary over the weekend and it was a highly successful event by all accounts.

There was everything from parades to competitions to food stalls to vintage displays, but we’ve come across something that would be the highlight of any festival.

A brand new game called “Bash the Rat” was available to punters at €1 for three attempts. Two young lads had a go and here’s how they got on.

We think the object of the game is to hit the “rat” back up the pipe which seems impossible if you’re using a tiny branch.

It certainly one of the more unusual games we’ve seen in a while.
