TWITTER WENT INTO overdrive following Ballyboden St Enda’s victory in the AIB Leinster Club SFC yesterday.
Donegal goalkeeper Paul Durcan played a crucial part in the success of the Dublin champions, as they defeated Portlaoise in Tullamore 2-11 to 1-9.
The former Four Masters netminder has been commuting from Doha, Qatar, to line out for St Enda’s, having only touched down in Dublin airport on Friday.
“Only for Paul Durcan, we could have been in real trouble,” Andy McEntee, the Ballyboden manager said afterwards.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the save…

Such a painful defeat for Portlaoise but Ballyboden showed true grit. Durcan’s save from McCormack critical. One of the games of the year. — Mark Gallagher (@bailemg) December 6, 2015
Paul Durcan’s kickouts are the equivalent of having an extra man out the field on every restart, Class! #TheToughest — Keith Quinn (@KeithQuinn11) December 6, 2015
Paul Durcan on another level so far! Making disguising kick outs look foolishly easy! — Kevin Campbell (@Kevin_Cam_90) December 6, 2015
Ballyboden’s Paul Durcan opting to take to the field in a club jumper. Doesn’t believe in jerseys, obviously #GAA pic.twitter.com/KC3QibIEhm — Newstalk Sport (@NewstalkSport) December 6, 2015
