Mayo's Ger Cafferkey nearly scored an 'own point' in Croke Park

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

FORGIVE US FOR the poor quality of the footage but this is too good to disappear into the archives forever without further mention.

Saturday night’s game between Dublin and Mayo had its fill of controversy and drama — and it very nearly had an “own point” as well.

Yes, that’s right, Ger Cafferkey nearly kicked the ball over his own bar.

The Mayo defender found himself in a footrace with Dublin’s Cormac Costello and as he attempted to fly-kick the ball clear, he very nearly put it between the posts.

Fortunately for him it came back off the upright and dropped for goalkeeper Rob Hennelly who was able to clear up the mess.

Have you ever seen anything like that before?

    I just hope Cork City had the brains to install a sell on clause when Hull signed him for peanuts as Sean will go right to the top on England

    He seems to have got off to a very good start Cross-channel. The St Mirren fans were going mad that he had to return to Hull. Hopefully we’ll see him in the green jersey soon.
