Rory's Stories will almost certainly have come to your attention at this stage via one form of social media or another. But for those of you that haven't come across his incredible work, per the man himself, "Rory’s Stories is a page where I act out funny sketches. Mainly GAA but plenty other stuff thrown in also"
Rory is a must follow but he recently ran an All Ireland skills competition where followers posted videos of supreme skill in hurling or football. Here are some of the best bits...
Football:
Luke Doran from Moorefield GAA Co. Kildare defying the laws of physics by bending this ball from right to left with his right foot... Off the deck... Maurice Fitz would have been proud of this one!!
Auld lads the length & breadth of the country bemoan the lack of free takers kicking off the deck these days, here though Raymond Galligan from Lacken Celtic, Cavan achieves this very feat off left AND right.
The Ward brother from Wolfe Tones in Meath, mixing it up with some basketball/ GAA skills.
Hurling:
Will Henn from Na Piarsaigh, Co. Limerick with some rare hurling/ juggling skills, that has to be seen to be believed..
Roy Nunn from St. Anne's in Co. Wexford and eventual winner of the hurling award! Knocks one over nonchalantly.. with one hand!
Unknown - nails a sideline... Off his knees..
Some incredible skills on show, fair play to Rory & all of the entrants!
