This was a moment of incredibly quick-thinking from Malahide Rugby Club's Shane Breen.
Faced with a conversion from a less than favourable angle, anyone in Dublin yesterday could testify that weather conditions across the county were hardly working in his favour either.
With little indication of just how bad the wind facing Breen was initially, upon his run up to the ball, the unimaginable happens - the ball falls off its tee.
However, with time running out, Breen demonstrated great awareness of the rules, taking the ball to hand and attempting the most audacious of drops at goal under some serious pressure from the Barnhall side
Looking almost casual in its execution, Breen throws a right foot at the ball, beginning to walk away without expecting too much from his long-range effort.
Yet, it doesn't take him too long to realise that something could be on here. Stalling mid reach to pick up the tee again, the effort drops over the bar - to the great joy of Breen!
It really is something to be seen.
