Eamon simplified the semifinal action saying: “Ehm, Ehm, ah, there’s improvements needed against, against eh, Kerry. Ehm, I, I thought that the train’s the game, both semi-finals were particularly that one because. Because you didn’t really know you didn’t expect Monaghan to be honest and I know that they rise to get that far. But at the same time, they hadn’t faced as you know as distantly as twice, and they’ve beaten Tyrone. They made a Mayo or Galway. And in the league. Yeah. They were competitive and competitive in the game. I was a bit surprised. Earlier in the year it was my county. My county. Up in the ball for a long time. For a long time. And they’re starting to peak. Starting to peak. And they’ve also a lot of experience and goes there.”
