The latest installment of the #SDSkillset series from Sports Direct features an arduous free taking exhibition from our three hurling stars Waterford's Jamie Barron, Limerick's Cian Lynch and Clare's Shane O'Donnell.

Check out our social channels in the coming weeks for the final installment in this series, as the lads test their agility. After that, we'll have three of Ireland's best footballers - Paul Geaney, Damien Comer, and Conor McManus - taking the #SDSkillset challenge in gaelic football.
