TOMÁS Ó’SÉ AND DESSIE Dolan didn’t quite know where to look on Sunday evening as former Donegal star Martin McHugh told a strange story relating to the time when Seamus McEnaney was in charge of the Monaghan footballers.
Recounting a story he was told from 2007, when Kerry beat McEnaney’s Monaghan by just a point in the All-Ireland quarter-finals, McHugh embarked on something of a ramble.
“I remember telling you a story way back,” McHugh said to host Des Cahill.
“‘Banty’ McEnaney played against Tomás’ (Kerry) team with the Monaghan team.
“They got beaten by a point and put up a good performance.
“He (McEnaney) was down in Kerry on holidays afterwards and there was this fella in the pub drinking.
“He says, that’s a good team you have there but they’re very small.
“Banty says ‘you know what you’ll do, send the Kerry women up to Monaghan.’
“Your man says ‘well, they’ll have to be pregnant before they go up!’”
Get it? We didn’t either.
Great win, the last frame was brilliant,fair play to him.
Fair play. Seems like a nice humble chap too.
Super win for Jordan. Such a solid performance and a great story of persistence & self belief. Ronnie made a lovely speech complimenting him as well.
@Geraldine Lavin: Ronnie also said anyone outside the top 50 were useless and he could still beat them if he had a limb missing
A great match,he deserved the win,hard to believe he was on the verge of packing it in five years ago while working in a petrol station
Nice to see tge underdog winning
Fair play to him. Great to have on his cv and even better to have beaten ronnie in a final frame.
Didn’t see it but fair play, you can see the emotion in his face and what it meant. Delighted for him!!
