East Kerry boss hopes Fossa claim intermediate glory despite knock-on loss of Cliffords

Should Fossa beat Milltown-Castlemaine, their promotion to senior would see East Kerry lose multiple talents at their current disposal.

EAST Kerry boss Jerry O’Sullivan says he hopes Fossa go on and win the county’s intermediate football championship in a fortnight – even though it will deny them key men David and Paudie Clifford in next year’s county championship.

The Cliffords are two of six Fossa players looking to follow up East Kerry’s fourth SFC title in five years with their own piece on history on November 19 against Milltown-Castlemaine.
