It will be a fascinating encounter, Kerry and Clifford in particular are coming into this game with serious hype and it will be a tough task for Derry. GaryMc82 (Derry) - Posts: 3017 - 15/09/2017 21:00:16 2046331 Link 0 |
I heard that, not sure how many Kerry got either but it wasn't a lot.

Derry are indeed a far more physical outfit than anything Kerry have come across yet and Kerry minors have always been a bit on the light side so that would be a big concern for us going into this game. I think this game is wide open, like all games at this level tend to be. But hopefully Kerry do it! TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 16/09/2017 10:40:05 2046387 Link 0 |
But very skillful mate, having the capacity to make the ball sing at speed counts for a lot and there are also some big units in that Kerry team too, young David himself is a lad and a half he must be playing senior football for Fossa i would wager. I think in some ways its like Mayo and Dublin, if Kerry can get a foothold in the game and weather the early energy early doors and their noses in front Derry will open up and you have the scorers to punish. Derry are good though and showed a lot of character throughout the championship has the making of a cracking game. Looks like it will be fine day that will allow for a good football too. Best of luck tomorrow. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 16/09/2017 11:15:49 2046399 Link 0 |

If I was the Derry manager I would look at what Galway did to our U21s and do similar , attack the sh*t out of the game from the start catch us cold and build a lead and then just chip away till the end of the game. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 16/09/2017 12:25:08 2046416 Link 0 |

I haven't seen one man destroy a team on his own like this since Jonah Lomu scored 4 tries v England in the 1995 RWC semi final. David Clifford...this is masterfull. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 17/09/2017 13:40:22 2046646 Link 27 |
Unusual for a big lad like that to have such excellent movement off the ball and vision. It would be a very even contest if Kerry had an ordinary football wearing no.11, Derry have some fine footballers of their own.

First time really seeing David Clifford live. Jesus oh. GetOverTheBar (Tyrone) - Posts: 1388 - 17/09/2017 13:58:30 2046653 Link 0 |
Good lord what a player this David Clifford is, like a mash up of Donaghy and Gooch. He has the power of Donaghy and the finishing of Gooch. Be a shame if he heads to Oz. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1874 - 17/09/2017 14:04:25 2046656 Link 1 |

I can't understand how Derry didn't start Calum Browne. He caused wreck inside anytime ball came into him. Maybe the Aussie Rules boys should look at him for his fielding and athleticism The_Bull (Cork) - Posts: 248 - 17/09/2017 14:38:51 2046665 Link 0 |
Green Gold. I'd organize a crowd fund to send him to Oz. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 17/09/2017 14:44:06 2046668 Link 0 |
Young men of Kerry take a bow, you have done us so proud! History makers and breakers and as for David, a legend already and only 17. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 17/09/2017 16:26:04 2046708 Link 1 |
Clifford is amazing but the team, as a whole, are fantastic. You would have to feel sorry for any minor team coming up against them. The Derry team must be shell-shocked after that but, fair play to them they played the game fairly. Not wishing to nit-pick, but I found the approach of number 12 (O'Sullivan, I think) very interesting - he simply stuck the ball under his arm and ran like hell as far as could, dispensing with such niceties as hopping the ball or soloing. A future Munster winger maybe. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 17/09/2017 17:53:44 2046814 Link 0 |
Congrats to Kerry on a dazzling performance and creating history today. To put up that scoreline with the pressure of not just winning an All Ireland final but by also creating history in winning 4 in a row was just incredible. The thing is each one was won without much stress which makes it all the more incredible. In 2014 Donegal put up a decent show but never really looked like winning. Derry made a game of it in the semi final in 2015 but again Kerry came through easily enough then sauntered to the title in the final against Tipp. I know from a Donegal perspective 2015 was the year we might have really put it up to ye but we made a mess of the Ulster semi final against Derry with a very talented squad who in truth we should have being beating. In 2016 Galway again put in an ok showing in the final but never looked like winning though the final scoreline did flatter Kerry. Then to this year which was a steering job for Kerry. I know Cork put it up to Kerry a couple of times but to have a team win 4 in a row relatively unscathed at the business end makes the achievement all the more. Needless to say the rule changes at U-20 where no team can play a player required by the senior set up will really suit Kerry (and the Dubs) so more underage success beckons. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2781 - 17/09/2017 17:54:13 2046817 Link 0 |
Well done to you Hermit and the genuine Kerry posters. Clifford is amazing. No doubt Kerry will be back soon.
