FOSSA PRODIGY DAVID Clifford will make his first senior inter-county appearance for Kerry against Donegal in Fitzgerald Stadium on Sunday (throw-in 14.00).
The 19-year-old led the Kingdom’s minors to All-Ireland success last year, scoring a remarkable 4 – 4 in the Croke Park decider against Derry.
Clifford has been named at right corner forward, alongside Dingle’s Paul Geaney and Barry John Keane in the full forward line.
Making their league debut for Kerry along with Clifford will be corner back Cormac Coffey, Dr Crokes forward Micheal Burns and Kenmare’s Sean O’Se who takes up the centre forward berth beside club-mate Stephen O’Brien.
