Video: We’ve found a real contender for SSE Airtricity League goal of the season

Pick that out

Kevin McGillicuddy

This is becoming a habit.

Let’s call out the rest of the SSE Airtricity League right now, and let them know that they are going to have to try and better this incredible 40-yard strike from Finn Harps Michael Funston for goal-of-the-season.

The player does have previous form after scoring a wonderful goal back in May, but his strike on Friday night against Cabinteely is the best goal we’ve seen this July.

There doesn’t appear to be any danger when he picks the ball up 40 yards out until he hits a precision strike past the helpless goalkeeper.

This angle shows how the goalkeeper was deceived by the flight and speed of the shot

The game ended 1-0 and the result meant the Donegal side ended a run of three straight losses and keeps them in second spot in the table behind Wexford Youths.

What a hit.
