The O'Donovan brothers were back on our TV screens on Saturday evening and exhibited their usual charm, reminding us all - in case we could possibly ever have forgotten - why the entire country fell in love with the men from Skibbereen in 2016. The Olympic silver medallists were not the only stars on stage during their appearance, however. A young fan named Colm Seoige joined the pair on stage and pretty much melted everyone's hearts with a beautiful ode to the brothers, called 'Pull Like A Dog'.
Young Colm managed to shake off a dumb joke from D'Arcy about the number of televisions in his townland to hold the brothers - and the watching national audience - spellbound.

The only pity was that D'Arcy cut him off halfway through. Brilliant effort, and - if we dare say so ourselves - worthy of a place above even the Thai Tims' tribute.
