David Tubridy: If you don’t believe you might as well stay at home back in Clare'

The Clare talisman travels to face Kerry in Killarney on Saturday full of hope and belief

David Tubridy is in the form of his life — with his return of 1-15 over the course of a four-game run making him the League’s all-time leading scorer with a tally 22-415. 

David Tubridy quickly cuts to the chase in explaining the Clare mindset as Colm Collins’ side face into what Kerry observers and neutrals alike think a mission impossible in Fitzgerald Stadium this Saturday evening.

“Kerry are a top two, three team in the country,” says the Doonbeg sharpshooter, “but we believe we can win. If you don’t believe you might as well stay at home back in Clare.” It’s a hugely positive narrative from Tubridy, from what has already been an upbeat year for a Clare side that cemented National Football League Division 2 status for a fifth successive year, while challenging strongly for promotion to the top flight for the first time in nearly 30 years.
