East Kerry's David Clifford grapples with Brian Leonard of St. Kieran's in the incident that saw Clifford red-carded

Champions East Kerry received a major blow to their prospects of making it to back to back Kerry SFC finals when star attacker David Clifford received a one-match ban for a red card received in the quarter-final win over St Kieran’s.

The All-Star forward received a straight red card from referee Jonathon Griffin in the final minute of that two-point win for an off the ball incident with St Kieran’s player Brian Leonard.
