You know it’s good when Joe Brolly is impressed.
Bam Neeson wins the game with a most outrageous lob. Hilarious finale.

Antrim saw of the challenge of Queens last night in the Dr McKenna Cup by 3-11 to 1-11 at The Dub.
It wasn’t a night for pretty football, and most of those present probably would have been happier by the nearest fire instead of being out in the cold of Belfast City, but nonetheless they were given full value for their entrance fee with an absolute peach of a lob from Antrim forward Bam Neeson.
The Saffrons looked on course for a three point win late in the game when Neeson ran through on goals, and instead of looking to pass it off, or take his point at that stage of the game, he took the cheeky option and dinked the ball over the onrushing Queen’s goalkeeper Joe Maguire.
The video was taken Jerome Quinn for the Irish News website and you can watch the full match highlights here, but there’s little doubt as to the stand-out moment of the night
And Bam got lots of love for his cheeky attempt afterwards
