WATCH: Meath club footballer swerves outrageous sideline free over the black spot

Kevin McGillicuddy

We’ve heard of sideline cuts in hurling, but this is ridiculous.

These sorts of things are not supposed to happen in club football in Meath, but trying telling that to Bryan Clarke of Seneschalstown

The ‘almost 30-year-old’ has apparently been doing this sort of thing for years, but only now has it been recorded on camera.

The free-taker was featuring for his club last night in an encounter against Dunboyne when the ball went dead for a free right on the sideline.

Clarke, known for slotting over frees from a variety of distances, decided to try his luck, and the camera angle shows the incredible swerve and accuracy from the boot of the corner-forward.

We can’t be sure of the distance, but we’d imagine it must be close to 40 metres out from goal and helped his side to a two-point win.

Some strike.
