DAVID AND PAUDIE Clifford combined for seven points as they played their part in helping Fossa book their place in the quarter-finals of the Kerry intermediate club football championship this weekend.

Paudie, who registered the first score of the game, finished with a tally of two points from play while David helped himself to five, including two frees. Eoin Talbot also scored a vital goal as last year’s beaten finalists got the better of Kerins O’Rahillys to advance to the final four with a four-point win.

Jack Savage’s haul of nine points wasn’t enough to save the O’Rahillys side, who featured a host of high profile players including David Moran and Tommy Walsh, who was denied a goal chance after being introduced at half-time.

In the other intermediate quarter-final down for decision today in Kerry, Glenbeigh-Glencar caused an upset against fellow mid Kerry side Beaufort. Darran O’Sullivan scored three points for the victors who move on to the semi-finals for the first time since moving up to the grade in 2017 on the back of winning an All-Ireland junior C title.

Dylan Geaney and Cathal Bambury finished with 1-2 apiece for Dingle while Paul Geaney played grabbed three points while also playing a key role in creating the goal opportunity for O’Sullivan.

Seán O’Shea supplied seven points for Kenmare with their goals coming from Darragh O’Connor and Paul O’Connor, whose 46th-minute penalty put the challengers four points in front. But Dingle were revived by substitute Conor Geaney, who scored four points off the bench including a mark before that crucial O’Sullivan goal before the end.
