WATCH: Tyrone's Richie Donnelly demolishes the crossbar challenge with a rabona

It's not often that you get to use the words 'rabona', 'Tyrone' and 'crossbar challenge' in the same sentence, but that day has finally come courtesy of this effort. 

Messi might be in town as Barcelona take on Celtic at the Aviva Stadium, but it's likely that the most audacious piece of skill performed on a pitch this week has already taken place up in Tyrone.

The senior side stepped up to take on the Crossbar Challenge in aid of Cycle Against Suicide earlier this week, and a few of the players (as well as the camera person) struggled with the wet and windy conditions. 

Not Richie Donnelly however, as he decided to attempt a rabona effort for his turn that seemed to be setting himself up for quite a fall. 

In fact, the exact opposite took place instead as Donnelly's effort landed right on the middle of the crossbar, sparking scenes of delirious celebration and disbelief from his team-mates.

Skip ahead to the 4:20 mark to see the scandalous rabona effort, or you can watch the entire video as the rest of the team try their best to come close to those highs.
