Irish rugby legend, Devin Toner, former Irish International football player, Stephen Hunt and golf professional Stephanie Meadow took part in a super sports-skills challenge on Saturday at Dundrum Town Centre.
To celebrate the arrival of the Sports Extra Pass on NOW TV the trio competed against each other in a golf, football and rugby shoot-out challenge.
The Sports Extra Pass is the latest shot in the battle for winning subscribers to Pay TV and was timed well the day before the biggest Premier League game of the season between Liverpool and Manchester City.
