David Clifford notches 0-9 to fire Fossa into junior county final

Footballer of the Year David Clifford continued his excellent form as he struck 0-9 for his club Fossa to fire them into the Kerry 'Premier' Junior Football Championship final.

Following on from last weekend's recognition as the best footballer in the land at the All-Stars, Clifford was straight back down to business as he picked up from where he left off.

That weekend, he appeared in the colours of East Kerry and fired 1-9 to help them to victory over Mid Kerry in the Senior Football Championship final.

That was a comfortable win as East Kerry looked far stronger on the day, but when Clifford turned out for Fossa against Ardfert yesterday, it was a much tighter affair.

In awful conditions in Castleisland, Clifford's club got the better of Ardfert on a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-14 - meaning every one of Clifford's nine points were crucial.

Fossa, managed by 2014 Kerry All-Ireland winning manager Eamon Fitzmaurice, will now come up against Listry in the final.

David Clifford's brother Paudie also contributed in no small part to the win as he sent over two points in an impressive performance from centre back.
