Marty Morrissey had the ‘best ride he’s ever had’ at the Ploughing Championships

“That was the best ride I’ve ever had.”

THIS EVENING, RTÉ’s coverage of the National Ploughing Championships came to an end.

To mark the end of this year’s festival, Marty Morrissey was challenged to go on a 50 metre amusement.

Specifically this 50-metre amusement.

Soon there was wailing, cursing and exclamations of “Lord above in heaven!”

It was safe to say that Marty wasn’t loving it.

But when it came to an end, Marty composed himself and managed to make the most Marty Morrissey remark of all-time.

That was the best ride I’ve ever had.

Bravo, Marty.

(Look closely and you can actually see Marty bang his head while getting out. Ouch.)
