Tyrone joint manager Feargal Logan was quick to thank the GAA and Kerry for affording his team the time to recover from the recent Covid-19 outbreak within the squad to play this evening’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final.
The last four clash at Croke Park was postponed twice before finally going ahead earlier today and it took extra time to decide a winner, with the Ulster champions coming up trumps at the finish to score a 3-14 to 0-22 victory.
Speaking afterwards, Logan said that they were “treated very fairly” by both the GAA and Kerry over the past few weeks and that it was very much appreciated.
“It was quite a game. I thought it was going to go to penalties almost and the reaction is that we were treated very fairly by the Association, by Kerry and we were appreciative – more than appreciative – of all that we got when ill-health struck our camp,” he is quoted saying by The42.ie.
“We’re more than thankful for that. If we say too much in that sense it sounds as though you’re patronising. It’s very sore, All-Ireland semi-finals are very sore defeats but we thank everybody that stood with us and gave us a fair go at this because two weeks ago we were potentially out of the competition and that’s the relief that I feel.
“I have to commend the association, Kerry and everybody that bore with us and I have to commend the Tyrone players who represented the county today with distinction.”
