As a reward for their All-Ireland hurling championship exploits, the Kilkenny hurlers are enjoying a bit of downtime in Miami.

And who should they bump into in sunnier climes?

None other than former Manchester United, Ajax and Netherlands goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

The Dutchman was happy enough to also join in a game of head tennis in the pool.

As JJ Delaney suggested, Van der Sar's 6 foot 7 height would be a great advantage if he ever decided to take up hurling.

Wouldn't catch to many high balls off this man!! #vandersar #legend pic.twitter.com/5ilT1GLwYG
