David Clifford celebrates after scoring a wonderful goal for East Kerry
Within minutes of David Clifford’s impressive strike in Saturday’s County Kerry final, images of the score spread across social media.
In the growing catalog of notable sheet music from the Fossa star, this is arguably the best option to date.
After winning the ball, he pivoted on his weaker right foot and buried the ball in the top corner of the net more than 20 yards away. The Mid Kerry goalie didn’t even move.
“I’ve seen it several times since then,” said Marc Ó Sé.
“Peter Crowley is close to him for the goal. But I think it’s David’s off-ball work, the way he uses Peter, runs to his right, then folds to the left side. To be good, which It was. Peter did very little wrong, it must be said. But David turns on his right leg. You’re still thinking, “you know what? Award a point. “
“Then that rocket.
“This man is phenomenal. The space he creates for himself. Look at him, he’s a big, strong man. He can kick with the right, he can kick with the left.
“I teach with his uncle here at school. They used to live in Dublin. Fortunately they moved west anyway, because that’s another player we could have lost to the Dubs! We have lost enough players to the Dubs, I can assure you with the Brogans and the Fentons and the Cian O’Sullivans. “
Clifford helped East Kerry to a second straight county title
Crowley’s return to fitness
And while Crowley couldn’t have done much to prevent the goal, it was a positive display from the Laune Rangers man who missed the 2019 championship for Kerry through injury.
“I think he’s going to be a great addition,” Ó Sé said, when asked about Crowley’s potential impact on Kerry upon his return.
“I mentioned David Clifford’s goal, but if you look back at the county final, Peter Crowley had a great game. He showed Peter Keane that he’s looking for a jersey.
“We see in the past his capabilities, his leadership qualities. He is a fantastic player and it is great to see him play at the highest level. I have no doubt that he will challenge all six running backs for a spot this year because that’s something Peter Keane does. you will be looking for the leadership qualities that Peter Crowley has.
“Last Saturday night, you could see that he had an outstanding game for a team that was struggling to keep up with East Kerry. Peter Crowley didn’t find himself up for it last night.
“For Kerry to get closer to [Dublin] They will have to have three man markers that will instill fear in the opposition, not only in their defense, but also in being able to advance.
“That’s an area that Peter Keane will try to improve on. And for that, maybe not on the defense line, but it would be great if Peter Crowley came back.”
Crowley was a great loss to the Kingdom in 2019
Ambush at the cork?
But before the Kingdom can begin to think about a rematch with the Dubs after the final defeat of All-Ireland last year, they must first negotiate a complicated semifinal assignment from Munster to their old rivals Cork.
And the clash on Lee’s side is one of which Ó Sé is cautious.
“They are definitely improving. There is no question about that,” he said of the rebels.
“Youth soccer is very good in Cork. My brother Tomás tells me that … He is very interested in the youth structures and youth soccer in Cork, and the talent that is down there. So Cork is going to be there or there.
Ó Sé spoke at the launch of ‘The Toughest Season’, an illustrated book documenting this season like no other
“Cork sits pretty much at the top of Division 3 since the beginning of the year. I still hope Kerry will come down and beat them.
“But with that said, it is going to be a big task to go down to Páirc Uí Chaoimh, to face a team from below that is doing very well. When you know it’s a knockout, when you know this could be the last roll of the dice, there is great challenge. It will be a huge game. It will attract a lot of attention.
“There is something that makes the blood flow about the direct knockout.”
