Brian Darby starting the move
With Rhode in Leinster semi-final action on Sunday, we decided to plunder YouTube again and find another Blast from the Past this Thursday.
The one we settled on is from the 2008 Leinster Club SFC where Rhode defeated Eire Og by 3-9 to 0-4. It's a length of the field move up the left wing that results in a penalty.
The clip includes Alan McNamee doing an impression of a block of granite as unsuspecting Eire Og players bounce off him as they try to get him over the line. We felt particularly sorry for the centre-back who ends up flat on his back.
