Perhaps the biggest downfall of Paul Durcan's distinguished career is that his game-changing kick-outs nearly overshadowed the rest of his game. Because they were just so damn good.
The Donegal man's delivery from the tee is second to none, pinging passes all over the field, either side of it, any distance, onto runners like it was only routine.
Well, the Ballyboden club man was back in Croke Park where he won All-Ireland glory with his county back in 2012 and he was showing off the rest of his polished game too.
Having made the trek back from the middle east for the club decider with Castlebar, Durcan sprang to his team's rescue during the first half with a stunning stop.

With St. Enda's running riot in the first period, the Mayo outfit were threatening to make some kind of inroads into a comeback.
Except, when they got so far, they met Paul Durcan there with a strong hand and cat-like reflexes.
This really is an outrageous save. What's more impressive is that he didn't even want to claim it, if it meant avoiding a 45' like.
