Steve Harmison and Brendan Maher just could not compete.
The former England cricketer and the Tipperary hurling captain swapped sports last night for the opening episode of The Toughest Trade on RTE.
It was a brilliant show, and the different experience of both men once again showed what a unique sport we have in this country, and how we sometimes fail to appreciate the dedication of those who give to their lives to their clubs and parishes.
But amid the local priest in Borris Ileigh lining out against Drom and Inch, or Maher bowling a four in the Adelaide Oval, there was only one star of the show.

The young lad wearing the 'fecking Friesian' jersey was the talk of social media last night.
He was full of encouragement for Harmison's efforts, but mostly people just wanted to get their hands on the legendary shirt.

But how did he get his hands on it?

The top itself is part of a range of novelty jerseys available on the
O'Neill's website, and that particular item was a special commission for last year's Ploughing Championships.
The good news is that there still appears to be some available, but considering we've already bought four; you may need to moove ( we couldn't resist) quickly to get one ahead of Championship.
We're also big fans of these tops.
