Yesterday's All-Ireland final didn't last too long for Dublin's Jack McCaffrey.
Only eight minutes of the first half had elapsed when the lively wing-back was forced off with a knee injury; a sharp turn, rather than any particular contact, left Jim Gavin with no option but to replace the Clontarf man.
Thankfully however, it doesn't seem to have effected his ability to celebrate with his victorious teammates last night.
As Micheal Lyster periodically interviewed various members of the Dublin set-up, McCaffrey found himself in full view of The Sunday Game's cameras.
Behind the perennially composed Gavin and Stephen Cluxton, McCaffrey's antics in the background were never going to go unnoticed.

Regarding McCaffrey's unfortunate injury, Jim Gavin suggested post-match that he hopes McCaffrey 'will be able to play championship for Clontarf in ten days time.'
