Pic: The best ‘getting ready for the big hurling match’ picture you’ll see today

One person didn't quite get the joke though.

As everyone knows, they take their hurling very, very seriously in Kilkenny. But this picture, posted by Conahy Shamrocks player Andy O'Keeffe on Facebook might just be taking thing a little bit too far. We're told Shamrocks begin their intermediate championship campaign next Friday, so we hope whoever is reffing the game is very vigilant. However, one person, Andy's brother no less, failed to get the joke it seems. We love how he ignored the gun. UPDATE: Or, as has been pointed out to us, perhaps Paddy just didn't want the car scratched by the chainsaw. Which is fair enough. Thanks to club mate John Muldowney for sending the pictures our way.
