Another good man gone today with Anthony Maher calling it a day. Anotehr underappreciated player imo. Also another player brought in by Pat O Shea

I’ve never liked the way the captaincy is decided. The best leader on the pitch should be selected. Having said that, from what I have seen of Clifford in both matches and interviews, he seems to have a solid head on his shoulders and looks like a natural leader. Even at his young age I’d rather see him as captain than a lot of the older players.

Either him or Kevin McCarthy. Makes a mockery of the captaincy anyway. Team captain should be picked by the manager, as good n all as Clifford is, having a 21 year old captain in his second season would be ridiculous. I never liked the way the captaincy was decided.

Not really it is a tradition and a tradition that has worked in Kerry. Declan O'Sullivan was something similar. I remember being annoyed when he was drafted in for the final after being injured. But he proved himself that day. I as soon give it to Clifford who will lead by example age dose not make a footballer great and youth is not am impediment to either ability or maturity.

In a way it takes the responsibility away from the manager but he can still pick his 2-3 leaders on the field and these can still control the game. I do a bit of coaching and its a pain picking a captain there is always other players upset. If that is taken away you can use you 3-5 leaders to control and influence the game often more effectively

He will be 20 not 21

Will Clifford be captain if east Kerry win it out?

Well considering the scoreline was East Kerry 6-15 Dingle 2-10 a few weeks back you would have to be a brave man to back fancy Dingle, even with the addition of Mark O'Connor. The Dingle heads really dropped in the 2nd half of that game and East Kerry ran riot. Maybe the extra games will bring them on, but I'd be shocked if East Kerry don't prevail.

Hard to see Kerins O'Rahillys beating Crokes twice, especially when you factor in Gavin White only came on for 15 minutes in that game and Tony Brosnan wasn't playing at all. Combine that with the fact that Kerins O'Rahillys made hard work of it last night and it's very much looking like an East Kerry v Crokes final at the moment.

its an embarrassment of riches reading this post , the idea of amalgamations is in talks progress in clare football at the moment hopfully it catches on , the way the championship in kerry is run is the module every county should run , especially when you can find lads like clifford from clubs like fossa that you would never look at , i also imagine the likes of dingle or kerins would win the clare championship comfortable at the moment ....big gap !!

South Kerry were no match for East Kerry today. Clifford was top class.

Yeah it's a double header supposedly but not fixed as of yet.

As for Crokes, if they beat Kerins O Rahillys (and assuming East Kerry beat Dingle) then that is their place in the Munster Club Championship sealed. You'd fancy them to do just that.

Anyone at either game to give a report?

I wouldnt call Dingle beating Stacks a shock- sure Stacks are a division 2 side and Dingle are a division 1 side with Paul Geaney and some phenomenal underage players coming through from the PCD teams.

As an aside- Mark O Connor was home from Oz and played for Dingle.

Any chance he'll stay

Big shock in Saturday's early game, as Dingle comfortably defeat Stacks by 3-9 to 0-9, will Strand Road be similarly ambushed shortly?

Dingle have a very very good side, i would have fancied them to beat Stacks anyway.

Donnchadh Walsh has to be one of the most effective half forwards we have had in my time watching Kerry,was under rated for a lot his Kerry career but he was a top quality player

keane2097

Bittersweet to see Donnchadh finishing up. The time is probably right, but man alive he gave us some great memories. No one tried harder for the cause.

there are either no defenders in the county or just ridiculous forwards. Some of the scorelines so far are outrageous,

sums up our senior team - in terms of average scored per game this year in the championship, it was one of the highest in kerrys history. 79 was the last time we got similiar scores.
