Clifford class beams through on such an emotional afternoon 

Just as the PA speaker began announcing a minute’s silence in the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday, David Clifford was offering his final words to his team-mates in the huddle. After Clifford finished speaking, he clapped his hands before he and his brother strolled with their team-mates to gather along the 45-metre line to stand together in memory of their late mother Ellen.
