Pic: This metal hurley that’s on sale in Cork would scare the bejesus out of any opponent

There's only one winner here in a clash of hurls

There’s only one winner here in a clash of hurls.

Most hurlers will tell you that getting any sort of advantage over a direct opponent is always a good thing because momentum and mentality can be just as important as skill.

Being first to a breaking-ball, delivering a thundering shoulder or performing a score-saving block can all boost a players confidence but this hurl that’s being advertised for sale on DoneDeal promises to go one better.

According to the very funny description, this piece of kit/weaponry was forged in the fiery chasms of Mount Doom and it’s indestructible qualities also emanate an aura of ‘don’t f**k with us ‘ to your rivals.

Take a look at this great description that leaves us with only one question. Could anyone actually run with the bloody thing?

Here are a few more images of the hurl in question, just in case you’re tempted to call up the owner.
