You know, David O'Doherty cites it in an article in The Guardian of his top 10 things.
It's been voted top 10 viral YouTube sports thing.
So it's a donkey derby, three participants in Castletown.
So there was...
Billy and his sister Jennifer.
They were Lees.
Billy being the younger of the two.
And they look like they're probably, you know, nine, ten.
And then there's Ciarán or Ciarán.
And he's a teenager.
He's participated in the Castletown Donkey Derby in previous years.
He's on the third donkey, which is called Miss Ellie.
But the star of the show is Joe O'Brien.
So he's the presenter stroke commentator.
And seemingly the guy who was shooting it on the day, Kevin Daly,
Yeah, I know.
Just handed Joe the mic and said, will you do the commentary on it?
So Joe had no past experience and that's what makes it brilliant.
He was just himself, very much himself.
And he got the name of Miss Ellie wrong through the whole thing, called it Marcelli.
