Man of the moment David Clifford was lost for words after inspiring Kerry to the All-Ireland minor football crown.

The Kerry captain's Man of the Match display reaped an enormous 4-4 tally and the Fossa prodigy spoke to TG4 seconds before collecting the Tom Markham Cup on behalf of the Kingdom, who have won a record four successive minor titles:

"Words can't actually describe it to be honest about it. I don't actually have a clue what to say. We knew we were going to get a tough test from Derry, we were probably in fear of their defending but we trusted ourselves.

"Peter [Keane, manager] had great faith in us and we knew we had great faith in them. A final was all about putting a performance in and everyone can see that's exactly what we did.

"We were actually expecting a more defensive set-up from Derry, but maybe it's a good thing they didn't do it."
