Breaffy were without the talents of Aidan O'Shea for their challenge game against Parke/Keelogues/Crimlin on Saturday afternoon.
At full forward, there was an interesting replacement for the All-Star.
Roberto Wallace, who spent two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, featured in the Breaffy starting line-up as part of the AIB-backed documentary 'The Toughest Trade'.
Also as part of the show, Aidan O'Shea is in the US trying his hand at American football.

During the week, AIB released footage of Wallace training with his new club. It showed him smacking the frame of the goal with a powerful right-footed shot.
According to the Breaffy Twitter account, he did the same today, along with also forcing the Parke keeper to produce a save.
