Anyone that tuned into eirSport's coverage of the Meath County semi-final between Wolfe Tones and Simonstown were treated to an absolute thriller.
There was a bit of Meath royalty on the sideline as Simonstown's manager is county legend and, in all honesty, an Irish legend in the former of Sunday Game's Colm O'Rourke.
They were playing SportsJOE's GAA Hour's very own Cian Ward's Wolfe Tones and the match went right to the wire.
Ward's side were three points down three minutes deep into injury time but a goal was on and all they needed was the deftest of touches to tie the game back up only for Ward's handpass to go gliding wide of the most.
But the drama didn't stop there as the ball was fielded in magnificent fashion by Mark McCabe and an old style long ball into the forwards gutting Wolfe Tones and set up a stinger of a goal.

And one of the earlier goals wasn't half bad either.
