David Clifford hits stunning 16 points in Fossa win, Kobe McDonald returns for Crossmolina

Fossa came out on top of a high-scoring encounter with Beaufort.

DAVID CLIFFORD WAS the star of the show as Fossa edged a thrilling Kerry intermediate semi-final meeting with Beaufort.

The Kerry intercounty star led the scoring with a stunning 16-point haul, while brother Paudie hit 0-5, as Fossa came out on top of a high-scoring encounter, winning 2-25 to 2-24.

Fossa will now play Kilcummin in the final.

Elsewhere, Kobe McDonald made his return to Crossmolina colours in the Mayo SFC on Sunday.

The 20-year-old recently returned from Australia, having been given permission by AFL Club St Kilda to fly home and take part in the remainder of the club’s championship season.

With heavy rain making for challenging conditions in Charlestown, Crossmolina battled to a 0-16 to 2-10 group stage draw with Mayo Gaels. 

The 18-year-old chipped in with three points, but it was another All-Ireland winner – McDonald’s brother Jordan Flynn – who provided the crucial score, hitting the late equaliser that secured the draw, a result which sees Crossmolina advance to the Mayo SFC quarter-finals.
