Must be getting some extra spuds for his dinner.
There is almost nothing worse than spotting the lad you are supposed to be man-marking, from across the field, and watching a small moon orbit his very being.
The ‘almost’ is when you jog over to him and find your shoulder joint is on a level as his elbow. All attempts to make chit-chat, and befriend the hulking structure, are met with grunts.
‘It’s going to be a long day.’
That must have been what this poor Tipperary hurler felt as he marked this rangy 16-year-old in a club game between Cashel and St Mary’s, in Clonmel, on Sunday.

Let’s hope his teammates shuttled in passes low and hard.
Hat-tip to Darren Burns for the snap.
