David Clifford is the GAA.ie Footballer of the Week. 

Kerry’s David Clifford has been voted GAA.ie Footballer of the Week.

The gifted forward received 5,079 votes from the public on the Official GAA Instagram page, ahead of Tyrone duo Kieran McGeary (4,877) and Cathal McShane (4,697).

David Clifford (Kerry)

Clifford was poetry in motion at times as he top-scored with nine points. Even when he was hobbling on one leg he still managed to win two late frees that brought the game to extra-time. When he had to retire injured, it was a huge blow for Kerry.

Kieran McGeary (Tyrone)

The Duracell Bunny of the Tyrone team, McGeary covered every blade of grass in Croke Park on Saturday. Made some key interceptions and turn-overs in defence, and was Tyrone’s most effective link-man between defence and attack.

Cathal McShane (Tyrone)

McShane’s impact from the bench was arguably the decisive factor in the game. He came on after 43 minutes and finished the match with a personal haul of 1-3 that played pivotal role in Tyrone’s victory.
