Ciaran Kilduff of Dunkalk FC scores contender for this year's Puskas

Playing in his side's emphatic 4-0 victory over Sligo Rovers in the FAI Senior Cup, Kilduff lit up the match with a moment of sheer brilliance. Charging on to a free kick delivery in the Sligo box, he twisted his body before flicking a volleyed backheel off his right boot. The improvised shot then lobbed the keeper and plopped neatly into the back of the net.

Despite the rainy and chill evening, there were mad scenes all around the ground - Kilduff was especially animated, bolting about like a headless chicken until he was eventually halted by the hugs of his teammates.
