What's your finest sporting achievement?

Got to Mosney in the Community Games once (U14 Breaststroke) - didn't make it out of my heat.

Knocking out some twat's two front teeth in a game of Rugby.

won the local under 12s five-a-side mini-league award for best manager. Coulda been the next Bill Shankly.

Doesn't matter the sport- ping pong excepted

So what is your finest sporting hour since birth, regardless of what age it happened at.

For me then I guess the pinnacle of my sporting career was the U-15 GAA at school when we won and I was a underused substitute

I have since sailed across the Atlantic and I can snowboard even the steepest of slopes but I'm guessing that U-15 GAA final is as near as I'm ever going to get to sporting greatness

Ha ha, that a nice coincidence, my greatest sporting achievements are probably in Table Tennis, multiple time individual winner, league winner and shield winner in the Leinster league.

Honourable mention to my GAA school final in school where I scored 3 goals and a point. I like this as it was against our rivals.

You do know that Table Tennis is one of the most played sports in the world?;)

I once flew across the Atlantic. Boy were my arms were tired by the time I got to New York!

It doesn't count as the mile high club if you do it by yourself...

losing a JCT final against PBC at Thomond park , but we still had a bigger crowd than Munster v Leinster

If TCGs count I've played at 3 National Championships, 2 European Championships and 1 major American Championship in Yu-Gi-Oh..

Beating 10 year olds by making up rules as you go along doesn't count.

Soccer based.

Underage (15s I think) I got Limerick player of the year for A division.
I have 3 FAI Junior cup medals. (Largest amateur soccer competition in Europe FYI). Had the 3 of them by the age of 21 in fact.

Have bucket loads of underage league and cup winners medals.

The one game that I'm most proud of was getting selected for the Irish Universities team after I played for UL in the Collingwood cup in 2006. We played the Irish IT's and won 1-0, yours truly scoring the winner. Header from a corner ala true centre back fashion. It was the most enjoyable game I played. The standard was incredibly high, and to feel at home their was a joy to be honest. Was gutted the Junior International manager couldn't attend as he was supposed, but sure as ever, I got over it. I also got UL Player of the year that same season. Good times back then. Pity about the Masters course I despised.

Edit: Might as well throw it in there but I was called up by Brian Kerr for Irish U-16 team for a few training sessions. Injury got the better of me that year mind, and subsequently stopped me from going over having trials with 2 clubs across the water days before hand with flights and everything booked. The worst part was a mate of mine also missed out as both clubs wanted 2 people to travel on both occasions, so he also lost out.

Gold Medal in javelin (sp?) at Finn Valley Athletics the first year I competed. I was well chuffed.
