A Meath GAA player had a close shave during his first day in lockdown when his gaming skills went a bit hairy.
Royals full-back Conor McGill got just that - a full back and sides from his brother who scalped him after beating him in a challenge match on FIFA 20.
The 26-year-old Ratoath club member now has a few weeks to grow his barnet back before he returns to work.
“I was after getting word to work from home so my brother Darragh (31) challenged me to a game of FIFA 20,” he said.
“I thought we’d make it interesting so I suggested whoever won got to cut the other’s hair. I lost and he shaved my head with all kinds of designs.
“I work in the insurance industry and had to go into work the next day to get set up so I could work from home.
“I was supposed to keep the haircut until the lockdown was lifted but my brother let me shave my head completely because of work and wear a hat.
“It was a bit longer than usual anyway when he cut it and it’ll grow back quickly. It was a bit of craic and we’re still talking anyway,” he laughed.
