It’s the taking part that counts, right?
From Roy Keane to Brian O’Driscoll, from Johnny Logan to Dana, we’re a nation of winners.
Winners who love winning, ice cream and big giant water slides.
And so, whenever we were challenged by the super-competitive team at Her.ie to take them on as part of 98FM’s Big Slide Home with HB Ice Cream, we just couldn’t say no.
Step forward Team JOE’s Eric Lalor and Team Her’s Cat Stewart, two titans when it comes to all things slippery, slidey and ice cream-related.
The challenge? Simple.
Each team just had to hang on to as many ice creams for as long as possible while taking on the Big Slide Home.

As you can see, there was a lot Twitter trash talking back and forth, but ultimately, there could only be one winner on the day.
Enjoy…

Remember, as we’ve repeatedly said, IT’S THE TAKING PART THAT COUNTS.
Bring on next year.
