In the aftermath of Ipswich Town’s dramatic draw with Hull City on April 27th, Kieran McKenna found himself caught on camera showing his frustration by taking it out on the dugout at the MKM Arena. The Northern Irishman admitted that the intense game and the high stakes of promotion led to his outburst.
The clash between the Blues and the Tigers was filled with excitement, with both teams putting on a show for the fans. Goals from George Hirst, Ozan Tufan, Omari Hutchinson, Liam Delap, and Noah Ohio kept the game on a knife’s edge until the final minutes when Hull found an equalizer to make it 3-3.
Despite the setback, Ipswich Town continued on their path to promotion, eventually sealing their spot in the Premier League after wins against Coventry City and Huddersfield Town. McKenna acknowledged that the frustration he showed was a result of the intensity of the game, but he was ultimately proud of his team’s performance and their determination to achieve their goals.
While the anger may have momentarily taken over, McKenna’s focus remained on the positives of the game and the belief that the team had everything they needed to succeed. The intensity of the season had sparked emotions, but in the end, the resilience and determination of Ipswich Town shone through.
