Bryan Sheehan scored five points for St Mary's Cahersiveen as they defeated Renard in the quarter-finals of the South Kerry GAA Championship at the weekend.
Usually, that tally for Sheehan would have been nothing beyond the norm for the five-time All-Ireland winner with Kerry.
However, Sheehan notched up those scores while playing as goalkeeper. His five points included one from play in a 0-12 to 0-10 win for St Mary's.
There was also a mesmeric free kick which has been widely shard on social media.

It's now six years years since Sheehan retired from inter-county football following a 12-year career with Kerry.

He is no stranger to the goalkeeper role. Two of his three years at minor level with Kerry were played there while he played a midfield for his third.

He also played one game as goalkeeper with the Kerry U21s in 2003 when they famously lost the Munster final to Waterford.
St Mary's will face St Michael's/Foilmore in the semi-final after they defeated Waterville in the weekend's other South Kerry Championship quarter-final.
For Renard - whose newly renovated Páirc Uí Dhonnchú hosted Sunday's game - it was a warm-up for their County Junior Championship final against Tarbert next month.
