David Clifford

Paul Keane tracked the movement of two of the most outrageously talented forwards in the game as they dazzled on All-Ireland final day.

After booting the ball over from play he lost himself in celebration for a moment, punching the air in delight. A medic applied an ice-pack to Walsh's left leg but he came around quickly and stroked over the free, this time off his left foot. John Daly, enjoying plenty of possession early on, picked Walsh out in the 10th minute with an accurate pass and the scoreboard ticked over again. Just like the Fossa phenom's ability to score off either foot, it was a perfectly balanced return with four points in each half. Kelly got an indicator for what lay ahead as early as the ninth minute when Clifford fielded above his head for an advanced mark that he converted. Sean Kelly was playing in defence for victors NUI Galway that evening and, five months later, the pair faced off again in another All-Ireland decider.
