David Clifford passes on Kerry team holiday to seek more glory with Fossa

David Clifford has passed on a Kerry team holiday to Mauritius and Dubai to chase club glory with Fossa.

The 2022 Footballer of the Year wants to add the Munster junior club football title to his remarkable haul.

Along with the McGrath Cup, League, Munster and All-Ireland titles he’s already won with Kerry, Clifford has helped East Kerry to a third County title in four years and Fossa to the Kerry Junior Championship.

Now Clifford, 23, wants to lead Fossa to the Munster junior title when they take on Cork side Kilmurry on Sunday 11 December, even if it means missing out on Kerry's team holiday.

“I don’t think I will be going for now (on the team holiday), Fossa comes first and looking forward to the Munster final now," Clifford told The Kerryman.

“It’s brilliant to be looking forward to a Munster final, there is a great buzz around Fossa.

"We will go back training on Tuesday night and focus because if we are to lose now it would take a small bit of gloss off the year so it would be great to get over the line in a Munster final.”

Win the Munster final and Clifford, and his brother Paudie, will then be eyeing yet another All-Ireland final, although they are not concerned about burning out.

"There is a bit of tiredness creeping in but the management have been brilliant when we needed a training session off now and then. When you are winning it makes it an awful lot easier.

“It was a massive honour to meet up the Kerry lads on Friday to collect the medals and while it’s great to look back on last year, it was also important to look forward to next year and drive it on again.”
