Kerry Manager Surprises Fans with Outburst After Impressive Victory

Éamonn Fitzmaurice was surprised by Kerry manager Jack O'Connor’s decision to take aim at his team’s detractors following their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final win over Armagh. Kerry's dominant performance saw them secure a spot in the last four despite some inconsistent form this season.

O'Connor criticized critics inside and outside the county, refuting claims that Kerry was a one-man team. He also referenced Dublin's loss to Meath without facing similar criticism from ex-players.

Fitzmaurice, speaking on the RTÉ GAA podcast, expressed surprise at O'Connor's comments, noting that O'Connor's usual post-game demeanor is more positive. Despite the unexpected remarks, Fitzmaurice acknowledged the team's strong performance and praised their resilience.

Looking ahead to facing Tyrone, Fitzmaurice commended Kerry's recent form and highlighted the challenge of maintaining their high level of play. He emphasized the importance of consistency in upcoming matches.
