Tony Leen: Kerry ‘leaders’ would do well to lighten David Clifford’s load

Why is the David Clifford Kerry captaincy an issue at all?, asks Tony Leen.

Why is the David Clifford Kerry captaincy an issue at all?

Two reasons. Any assessment of Kerry’s All-Ireland chances in 2020 is reasonably tied to Clifford’s wellbeing and form. That’s a hefty load for any 21-year-old to be lugging after him (happy birthday, David, by the way), but evidence thus far would indicate he is fine with it.
