Watch: Austin Gleeson outruns half of Passage for wonderscore

The former Hurler of the Year turned on the turbo

Waterford star Austin Gleeson might have finished on the losing side when Passage pipped Mount Sion by two points in Sunday's Waterford SHC semi-final in Walsh Park.

But the former Hurler of the Year scored four points from play including one incredible score late in the game when he took possession on his own 45 before taking off on an audacious, circuitous voyage — via a one-two with teammate Owen Whelan — that took him as far as the Passage 21 before finishing beautifully off the hurley.
