All the talk, in September and early October, was that the teenager could possibly be tempted to switch sporting codes and try his hand at Aussie Rules, Down Under. However, on Terrace Talk, Clifford blew such notions out of the water by joking, "My mother wouldn't let me go!"
He then declared:
"It's something I've said to some of my friends, I grew up dreaming of playing for Kerry. I never grew up dreaming of being an Aussie Rules player. "Obviously, as you say, the weather down there may be better and it's a professional game but in my near future I'm just hoping to keep progressing in the Kerry jersey and the Fossa jersey too."Stirring words and, this evening, his reward has quickly arrived.
