A crane kick in the final round of the All Valley karate tournament 25 years ago where i defeated my opponent Johnny after picking up a knee injury. He developed a new found respect for me and even presented me with the trophy. What a moment.

Dublin something or other hurling medal for warming the bench/ground when I was a tubby 16 year old.

Actually I think beating a bunch of Americans in my first attempt at fantasy american football was my finest hour in sport.

I won the gold medal at musical chairs in 6th class Sports Day after a controversial re-match caused by the teacher accidentally pressing stop on the tape player and the other finalist sat down. Much like the 1966 World Cup final where 11 minutes were added on in over-time.

I got a triple 20 in darts. But I was only playing against my 8 year old brother at the time.

And that's about the limit of my sporting activity.

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

Kinda hard to do what when I work for their official strategy site..

Oh well, I have the stamp to prove it!

Here are a few:

won the county u16 championship and got player of the year in gaelic.

Won Ulster u18 league and shield double in rugby.

Captained my college rugby team.

Got my black belt in Tae Kwon do.

But my favourite moments from sport are when my former college rugby team gets together and has a night out or a challenge game. Those guys are awesome.

Came second in the first heat of the egg and spoon race, primary school sports day, circa 1986. I'm not trying to be funny - it really is my finest sporting achievement.

Second heat I was one of the last...

Oh and I also got one of those "for everyone who took part" medals for the athletics bit of some local festival thingie a few years later. :pac:
