CLARE ALL-IRELAND winner Nicky O’Connell proved that his talents don’t just lie on the playing fields when he and his model girlfriend Esther Woods performed the duet Love is an Open Door from the blockbuster Frozen movie recently.
In a surprising development, the world of social media was left rocking when the 25-year-old Clonlara man and the former Miss Clare were posted on Facebook performing an unlikely double act.
The duo have Banner boss Davy Fitzgerald to thank for their relationship as they met in his pub The Dugout, while Davy also encouraged O’Connell to follow up their meeting with a text.
O’Connell, who missed the first two rounds of the league through injury, has obviously been keeping busy and the couple have Nicky’s younger brother and county team mate Cathal (“Tots”) to thank for their viral video.
Unsurprisingly, team mates like Allstar Colm Galvin and Cathal Chaplin have given their full ‘support’ to O’Connell’s career move.
Here are both videos so we’ll let you decide whether he has a budding acting career ahead.
(Thanks to Cathal “Tots” O’Connell for the video)
To think that she took up rugby 7 years ago and is now one of the most capable wingers in her sport. Incredibly talent. Good woman Ali
It’s catch and run. Not that difficult as she was already a top athlete
Catch and run? If that was the case, we would all be playing in the world cup.
It’s a lot more than catch and run, if you knew anything about rugby, you’d know that. Scarlett for ya buddy!
Ailbhe, don’t rise to the pathetic efforts of wind up merchants/trolls. People like him that don’t play or have never played rugby have no idea the level of skill and intelligence involved to be a top level player.
Ah Gary, I was just going to challenge him to a game. See if he can handle being dump tackled by a girl ;)
I repeat. Catch and run
Ok John, come to our training tonight. I’ll throw you the ball. You just simply catch and run….see how you fair. Up for the challenge? Or another keyboard warrior?
The best of luck to the Irish Ladies Rugby Team in their semi final against England. They have given a great lift to everyone with their achievements.
Stop running them down, they’re all lovely girls and they all have lovely bottoms.
Yours etc,
