VIDEO: Bernard Brogan is handy with a hurl but Doug Howlett is the multi-sports skills king

Bernard Brogan, is there anything he can’t do?

If the AIG multi-sports skills challenge was an individual event, we’d wager that he would dominate.

But, along with Leona Maguire and Cian Boland, Doug Howlett was just unstoppable.

Dublin GAA stars, Bernard Brogan, Johnny McCaffrey, Cian Boland, Sinéad Goldrick and Ali Twomey were joined by former Munster and New Zealand rugby legend Howlett, Irish amateur golfing twins, Leona and Lisa Maguire, and Irish tennis player Jenny Claffey for the AIG multi-sports skills challenge in Dublin and it’s fair to say that they’re all pretty competent at whatever sport.

All masters in their own fields, there was no comfort zone at the Grand Canal Docks with tennis, golf, hurling, football, and rugby skills being put to the test.

Brogan admitted that he was no stranger to the hurl and he looked natural enough alright but the Dublin hit man couldn’t come out on top with his team.
