East Kerry 1-16 Mid Kerry 0-10
A masterclass from the Footballer of the Year David Clifford, with the Fossa man scoring 1-9 in a tour de force, has secured a third Kerry County SFC title in four years for East Kerry.
In a repeat of the 2020 final, which East Kerry won by 12 points, this was almost as comfortable a win for them over a Mid Kerry team that simply couldn't contain Clifford, his brother Paudie and all the other talent in Jerry O’Sullivan’s team.
Less than 48 hours after being named Footballer of the Year, and winning his fourth All Star, David Clifford and his All Star brother Paudie led the East Kerry attack, scoring 1-11 between them, though, inevitably the former had the lion’s share of it in a man of the match performance.
Indeed, it was David’s goal in the 45th minute that was the title clinching score, ending any remote hope Mid Kerry might have had of a late charge that would have delivered a first title for the district since 2008.
The goal was a highlight in an otherwise fairly mundane contest, such was the eventual winner’s complete control from start to finish, finally bringing to bear their strength in depth after unconvincing quarter-final and semi-final wins.
The game's only goal came from a slick move that saw the ball pass quickly through the hands of James O’Donoghue, Ruairi Murphy, Jonathan Lyne and Paudie Clifford before the elder brother teed up the younger brother to tap the ball to the net from five metres out.
If most of those names sound familiar it’s because all bar Murphy are All-Ireland senior title winners with Kerry, and the general expectation is that Murphy will be called in for a closer look in the coming weeks.
It was Murphy who got the game’s first score, a fifth minute point, and East Kerry were never behind after that in a contest that bubbled along entertainingly enough, but which never quite took off in the way the 6,000 strong attendance would have hoped for.
East Kerry were three points ahead, with the Clifford brothers raising early white flags – before Mid Kerry defender Pa Kilkenny raided forward to kick his team’s first score in the 10th minute.
Eanna O’Connor – son of the watching Kerry manager Jack – cut the deficit to the minimum, and it was 0-4 to 0-3 after 20 minutes before East Kerry started to open their shoulders and at half time they led 0-9 to 0-5, with David Clifford adding three and Dara Roche converting a free as well as being denied a goal after a smart save from Sean Coffey.
Coffey was to Mid Kerry’s rescue early in the second half, denying James O’Donoghue with a fine save, but points from play and a free from David Clifford pushed East Kerry six clear as the game moved towards its inevitable conclusion.
Mid Kerry were still five behind, but battling hard with Mike Breen, Kilkenny, O'Connor and Fiachra Clifford working tirelessly, but they lacked real penetration in attack, with Kerry goalkeeper Shane Ryan not having a difficult save to make.
The final hammer blow arrived with Clifford’s tap-in goal, a measure – finally – of what this East Kerry team is capable of.
Thereafter the game petered out, with David Clifford embellishing a weekend to remember with three more points to finish with a personal tally more than enough to beat Mid Kerry on its own.
So the 2019 and 2020 county champions are back top of the pile again, and who's to say this East Kerry team won't be back for more county titles. As long as David Clifford is in the team they will always have a huge say.
