Brolly, who is from Omagh, dramatically juggles the ball before safely completing the pass.

The pass was celebrated wildly on the sidelines and was described as "insane" by the Vipers on their Facebook page.

The game ended 31-6 to the Vipers.

The Vipers' next game is against West Dublin Rhinos in Drumahoe on Sunday June 18.
