Keane says Clifford and O’Donoghue ‘not far away’ from being fit

Kerry manager Peter Keane had mixed news regarding the county’s walking wounded as they prepare to face Mayo in a crucial Allianz NFL clash at a sold out Austin Stack Park on Saturday night.

Keane confirmed that star attacker David Clifford is “not far away” from being fit to play some part in the game, while James O’Donoghue is in the same boat, with the manager saying: “James trained last Friday night with us. He is close enough and will be training again this Wednesday night so we will be in a better position than to evaluate both players.”
