By the end of this day they will be saying Austin Gleeson was inside his own 14-yard-line.

But we’ll take a stab at saying the Waterford hurler was well inside his own 65 metre line for a match winning free this afternoon against Tipperary. Gleeson struck late to hand the Deise a crucial win over their neighbours in Semple Stadium, in a thrilling Allianz hurling league clash that ended 1-18 to 1-17. https://twitter.com/Inphosports/status/706525824535666690 That looks like along way out to us, but it’s not until you see the video that you fully appreciate the monster distance covered by Gleeson’s puck. aus And then a few seconds after the game, Gleeson showed his humble side by signing autographs and posing for pictures for dozens of young fans. https://twitter.com/paulcollinstipp/status/706527635174727680
