Tyrone’s Conor McKenna played his 31st game for Essendon in the AFL at the weekend and scored an incredible goal.
The ‘four bounce’ goal saw McKenna race forward and accurately take his score during their game against the Gold Coast Suns.
Essendon won by 88 to 57 at the Metricon stadium.
After the AFL posted McKenna’s goal on Twitter, there was plenty of praise from Irish and Aussie fans for the Eglish flier.
