Robert Thompson could take it as an insult or a compliment!
During yesterday's Kildare U21FC 'B' final in Newbridge, the ever-witty Raheens GAA Twitter account was providing regular updates on how things were going against Balyna. Wtih the game in injury-time, corner forward Thompson put Raheens a point up, only for Jack Robinson to equalise at the other end and send the game to extra-time.
Robert Thompson looked like he hit the winner deep into added time to cement his position of “The Aldi version of Jimmy Hyland”

Robinson went on to score 1-11 as Balyna eventually prevailed on a 1-16 to 0-15 scoreline. But the Raheens tweet comparing Thompson to Kildare All-Ireland U20 scoring sensation and EirGrid U20 Player of the Year Jimmy Hyland was just as memorable!
