Clifford on Irish duty

Armagh’s Ciaran Clifford is ready to make the step to international duty this afternoon as he makes his first appearance for Ireland in the Hurling-Shinty international at Bught Park, Inverness.

The teak-tough defender has had a year to remember picking up a Nicky Rackard Cup medal with Armagh at Croke Park last June.

Clifford, the sole Armagh representative on the squad, is delighted to represent his country.
