Pic: One of the greatest GAA shoulders of all-time was used as a genius answer on this school test

Liam Buckley, you are correct sir

There’s so much to love about watching a good game of gaelic football or hurling but one of the simple pleasures is seeing a bone crunching shoulder between two committed players.

We were reminded of this over the weekend after Kieran Donnaghy’s display of physicality for Austin Stacks in their semi-final defeat against Slaughtneil but this answer in a secondary-school science exam reminded us of arguably the best shoulder of all-time.

We’ll never forget that point from Diarmuid “the rock” O’Sullivan in the 2001 All Ireland Hurling Munster Quarter-Final against Limerick. Not only did he send Limerick’s Jack Foley to the floor but he also slotted over a magnificent point from deep inside his own half.

This is the greatest answer to a science exam that we’ve ever read.

Any excuse to watch this again is very welcome, unless you’re a Limerick fan.
