Bryan Sheehan: Give David Clifford time

Bryan Sheehan feels it may take two years for David Clifford to adapt fully to life as a senior inter-county player.

The young Fossa forward was unplayable with the county minors last year, topping off a superb summer by claiming 4-4 in the All-Ireland final against Derry and then climbing the Hogan Stand steps to lift the Tom Markham Cup.

Sheehan was impressed with the youngster’s efforts during the Allianz League when promoted to the senior ranks and believes that, at 6’ 2”, he has the physique and the ability to prosper at the elite level.
