WATCH: Connacht kit man really gets into the St Patrick’s Day spirit

Hup!

Move over Michael Flatley, Martin Joyce is the new Lord of the Dance.

It’s St Patrick’s Day, and everyone who didn’t have to circumnavigate an obnoxious marching band on their way to work is really getting into the spirit of the holiday.

Things are no different at the Sportsground in Galway, it would seem. Connacht winger Niyi Adeolokun shared a simply magnificent video of the province’s kit manager Martin Joyce dancing an Irish jig at the Sportsground which made us crack a very wide smile.

Congratulations Martin, you’ve just won the SportsJOE spirit of St Patrick’s Day award for 2016. Although, there is no actual prize, the prestige of winning a title that we literally just made up after seeing this video is better than any medal, trophy or plaque in existence.
