It was never going to happen.
But that shouldn't take anything away from Lowe.
I mean, their energy, Darren McDonald, any time the ball hung in the air, Darren McDonald was under it.
Craig Lennon gave that energy.
And, you know, we were talking about Stephen O'Hanlon's energy the last day.
He's well able to match it.
Yeah.
You know, I suppose it's a kind of a recurring theme of the weekend to have these young players and knowing, you know, we know how exceptional all the top players are in the last three or four years.
But these players, we don't know how good they can be yet.
And there's just no fear there.
There's no self-doubt there.
There's no limits to what they believe they themselves can do.
Tactically, I actually don't know how they...
managed to defend I think Monaghan and I think Gabriel Banigan himself said he was kind of disappointed with how they used that extra man but at the same time you're looking for different examples of where where Monaghan didn't succeed or where Lowe did you know cover up and it was just the energy of their defense I don't know was the two-week break a help to them in terms of that they would have would that have had that energy and that experience in Crowe Park but
tactically it's actually hard to pinpoint how they got it right but some of it was just based on any time the ball was in the air they actually had possession so they didn't have to defend and when they did have to defend then they scrambled really really well and I actually texted a Louth mate of mine after that six minute thing and said it's game over here like you know because he was we were talking back and over before the game and I was saying jeez we could meet Louth in the semi-final and it could be revenge for 1910 and all that like what I was thinking but
obviously that might have to wait if we can get over Dublin but all conventional wisdom would say and particularly after Donegal's masterclass down in Killarney would say that you cannot defend against it like but they did they showed huge huge energy and just winning primary possession papered over whatever crack would appear
But even at that, Paul, when Sam Mulroy missed that two-pointer free at the time, McCarville had fouled him just before that.
It was a two-pointer, soft enough free, but he misses it anyway.
McCarville catches the next kick out and within a minute or two, Conor McCarthy puts Monaghan a point up.
I know Louth were playing with a lot of energy at the time,
