Listry dig out extra-time win over Glenflesk in East Kerry minor league division 2 final
Glenflesk 1-19
After a thrilling 70 minutes of football, Listry climbed the victory in the East Kerry Minor League Division 2 final with a strong first period of extra-time crucial to the win.
After Listry saw an early goal by Tom O'Dowd ruled out for a square ball, Glenflesk got the opening goal of the game with a terrific finish from captain John O'Sullivan. Listry fought back well from this setback, with a run of seven points in a row, with James Clifford and Killian Fitzgerald doing the damage, with a two-pointer from Clifford the pick of the scores.
Two late James Kelly points kept Glenflesk within two points at the break, despite being well outplayed.
Glenflesk started the second half well, with points from John O'Sullivan and Dylan Bowler. Clifford then goaled for Listry, with Sean Clifford providing the assist. Back came Glenflesk with four more points, with Bowler getting the last as they went ahead again. Listry again responded well, and a Ryan Carey score put them two points up as injury time approached.
Glenflesk created one more opportunity. James Kelly was the one to take on the shot, firing over with his left foot from behind the arc to send the game to extra-time.
After having victory stolen away from them, Listry got on with the business of winning the game again. Killian O'Donoghue's early goal was followed by a pair of '45's from Fitzgerald. Listry had earned a nine-point lead by half time. Despite Glenflesk's brave efforts to come back, which included another Kelly two-pointer, Listry had done enough to secure the win.
Elsewhere in the Division 3A final, four goals for Firies proved crucial in their 4-14 to 0-13 win over Beaufort.
In the Division 3B final in Currow the home side beat Gneevegulla by 3-14 to 2-13 where two late goals helped Currow to a four-point win.

1-9 for David Clifford as Kerry blitz old foes Tyrone and make All-Ireland final
Kerry 1-20 Tyrone 0-17 BEWARE OF KERRY'S awesome second-half power is the theme that will emerge for the All-Ireland final, as they blew old foes Tyrone away in Croke Park to enter the decider on 27 July. After getting their house in order and allowing an early Tyrone whirlwind to blow itself out, they just had too much quality in all the match-ups and team play to ease their passage to the Sam Maguire decider. After Darragh Canavan brought the margin to a single point in the 42nd minute, Kerry hit an astonishing nine unanswered points. Meanwhile, Tyrone had a complete malfunction in attack with five wides in six minutes that, even if some had gone over, would have kept them in some sort of contention. Four of the starting six Tyrone forwards were taken off, which tells its own tale, but nothing exists in isolation: Darren McCurry was taken off after 48 minutes, his one effort drifting wide, but that ignores the superb discipline of his marker Jason Foley, who was on his toes throughout. Gavin White in possession. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO All round the pitch, it was a similar story. Darragh Canavan and Matthew Donnelly held their end up, but Tyrone ended the day looking as if they lack a physical presence as a figurehead up top. Kerry went in at the break a goal ahead. Around the half-hour mark, it appeared they were going to disappear altogether after a Matthew Donnelly shot was blocked down by Dylan Casey. Kerry turned that possession into a goal. Brian Ó Beaglaoich was afforded too much space down the Cusack Stand wing and David Clifford's movement stole a few yards off his marker Paudie Hampsey. With Niall Morgan advancing, two Tyrone defenders made for the line but Clifford potted his shot in the corner before waving his arms in jubilation and a rally cry for the Kingdom support. They will look at the scores they left behind. Clifford himself hit the post and sent one wide from two-point efforts while Sean O'Shea also hit the post twice, one of them a two-point attempt. Sean O'Shea. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO Tyrone had opened much brighter. Kerry's first four kickouts were gobbled up by Tyrone hands and with that supply, they moved 0-4 to 0-1 in the lead with Ciaran Daly responsible for two of them. In that period, Tyrone also had a goal chance that Shane Ryan produced a strong hand to keep out. Later on, Eoin McElholm – in his first senior championship start – had another goal chance when he nabbed a shot Ryan kickout but left empty-handed. Once Kerry settled, they had two goal chances for David Clifford. Much is made of his shooting ability but little about his sheer pace, and Hampsey was finding the going difficult once the Fossa man got his gallop up. But they ate into the Tyrone lead and Clifford put them level in the 20th minute with a two-pointer. The half ended with a buzzer-beater from Mattie Donnelly, his second score of the day after his first was a half-chance for goal that he opted to shoot over. Advertisement While Tyrone opened the second half brightly, Darragh Canavan grabbing a point and a two-pointer in the first three minutes, Kerry completely took over. You could point to seven Kerry goal chances, some of which they just kicked over the crossbar, but they also found Niall Morgan in superb form, in particular to cut out a square pass from Sean O'Shea to set up a back-post palm in. With Tyrone in meltdown, Kerry eased home and had time to get some Croke Park minutes into the returning Tony Brosnan, who came on for Paudie Clifford. A seventh All-Ireland final for Jack O'Connor awaits. Scorers for Kerry: David Clifford 1-9 (4f, 1x 2point), Sean O'Shea 0-3 (2f), Killian Spillane, Joe O'Connor, Paudie Clifford 0-2 each, Graham O'Sullivan and Dylan Geaney 0-1 each. Scorers for Tyrone: Darragh Canavan 0-7 (2f, 1 x 2point), Matthew Donnelly, Ciaran Daly, Seanie O'Donnell 0-2 each, Kieran McGeary, Eoin McElholm, Mark Bradley, Ruairí Canavan 0-1 each. Kerry 1.

Kerry breeze past Tyrone to book final spot as David Clifford runs the show
KERRY 1-20 TYRONE 0-17 DAVID Clifford was the coolest man in Croke Park as Kerry melted Tyrone's championship hopes and scorched their way into a 63rd All-Ireland final. Kerry's 14-point blitz in 15 minutes ended Armagh's Sam Maguire defence two weeks ago - in today's semi-final, it was Clifford's breath-taking second quarter score surge of 1-5 that tamed the Red Hands. Making hay in the hot conditions, the Fossa master delivered the first two-pointer and then the first goal of a last four encounter that tailed off in the entertainment stakes as Tyrone's scoring prowess deserted them in the second half. For Tyrone, it was the end of the road in their bid for a remarkable treble after their minor and under-20 All-Ireland triumphs of recent weeks, the latter coming against the Kingdom just last week. Darragh Canavan was the Red Hands' danger man and his 42nd minute point moved his side to within one of their opponents. But then Malachy O'Rourke's side dried up in front of the Kerry goal and they failed to score again until six minutes from time and they finished with 10 wides to their rivals' four. Jack O'Connor, going into his seventh All-Ireland final manager as Kerry manager, will have concerns that his side struggled on their own kick-outs yet also managed to leave SEVEN goal chances behind. But equally he will be delighted with the attacking power shown by his team as Paudie Clifford got 64 minutes into him that will be of major benefit going into the decider in a fortnight's time against Donegal or Meath. But it was Paudie's brother David who was the difference as O'Connor's men made it four wins in the last five championship meetings between the sides. Well marshalled initially by Pádraig Hampsey, it took 17 minutes for the Kingdom's talisman to ignite. But when he got going, there was no stopping Clifford and it was a tough afternoon for his marker until Michael McKernan relieved him on that duty when he came off the bench in the second half. Sean O'Shea's free gave Kerry a second minute lead but it was Tyrone who started on the front foot, with Conn Kilpatrick and Brian Donnelly dominating at the midfield and Ciarán Daly, Canavan and Kieran McGeary getting on the scoreboard early. David Clifford's first two-point attempt fell short into Niall Morgan's arms and O'Shea saw a shot come off the upright but Clifford raised his arms in jubilation with his 20th minute two-pointer that was successful. Morgan bravely denied Kerry a goal soon after as O'Shea's return pass to Joe O'Connor was cut out by the keeper and, at the other end, Mattie Donnelly was frustrated to see a goal chance fly over the bar. A rare mistake saw Clifford skew a great goal opportunity wide in the 27th minute but just 90 seconds later he found the far bottom corner when Mike McGeary backed off Mike Breen and the Kerry wing-back delivered the killer pass to his team-mate. But Sean O'Brien had another Kerry goal attempt smothered by Morgan and Donnelly scored the last point of the half to leave a goal between the sides. Paudie Clifford was crowded out when a second goal looked on for Kerry, his brother would have been one on one with Morgan had he held a ball over the top but those chances came in between a brace from Canavan, making it a one-point game. That was as good as it got for Tyrone. David Clifford cut inside Hampsey for a point, O'Connor should have scored a goal but had to settle for another point and then Dylan Geaney wasted another chance as his shot skidded across the goal-line and wide. But Kerry kept the scoreboard ticking over. The arrival of Killian Spillane in the 48th minute for Geaney added impetus to the Kingdom's attack and he finished with two points. David Clifford and McKernan were booked moments after Spillane's first for getting to know each other a little too well just after the Tyrone defender's introduction. Morale-sapping wides for Tyrone started to rack up at the Davin end and a sense of inevitability settled over the stadium. The Red Hands were frustrated that ref Joe McQuillan called back a Ruairí Canavan two-pointer for an earlier free for his own side. But it was all academic by then, with Tyrone's day summed up by the 63rd minute overturning of an easy free for a 13m one for Kerry for a breach as Clifford finished his scoring spree on 1-9. Kerry: S Ryan; P Murphy, J Foley, D Casey; B Ó Beaglaoich, M Breen, G White; S O'Brien, J O'Connor (0-2); M O'Shea, S O'Shea (0-3, 2fs), G O'Sullivan (0-1); D Clifford (1-9, 4fs, 1 2ptr), D Geaney (0-1), P Clifford (0-2). Subs: K Spillane (0-2) for Geaney (48), E Looney for Casey (58), T Morley for Breen (62), M Burns for O'Brien (62), T Brosnan for P Clifford (65). Tyrone: N Morgan; C Quinn, P Hampsey, N Devlin; P Teague, B McDonnell, K McGeary (0-1); B Kennedy, C Kilpatrick; S O'Donnell (0-2), M Donnelly (0-2), C Daly (0-2); E McElholm (0-1), D Canavan (0-7, 2fs, 1 2ptr), D McCurry. Subs: M McKiernan for McDonnell (48), M Bradley (0-1) for McCurry (48), P Harte for Daly (52), R Canavan (0-2, 1 2ptr), M O'Neill for O'Donnell (67).

Clifford-mania runs wild as Kerry reach All-Ireland final
Jonathan Browne 12/07/2025 Kerry have reached the All-Ireland final after a dominant 1-20 to 0-17 win over Tyrone at Croke Park after yet another great David Clifford and Joe O'Connor performances. It was O'Connor who received the player of the match award as he was everywhere on the pitch. Clifford struck 1-9 in what has become a phenomenal year for the 26-year old as he now has a chance to won his second All-Ireland title. There was baking heat at Croke Park as Kerry really should have had the game beyond doubt as they had much the better scoring opportunities throughout. David Clifford got the Kingdom's only goal but in reality there easily could've been about 4 goals if not more. Great composure to bounce it before the finishHis 2 pointer was has been great but has missed 2 two pointers and blazed one wide. — Smaller Fish (@SmallerFishGAA) July 12, 2025 The Kingdom chose to try walk the ball in a lot and it took some great last stitch efforts from Niall Morgan in the Tyrone goal to keep the Red Hands in it. It was the second half where Kerry took the game away from Tyrone. Kerry prevented Tyrone from scoring a single point for 22 minutes in the second half, in that time Kerry kept building the score and by the time Tyrone finally ended their drought, they were nine points down. David Clifford of Kerry scores his side's first goal. Pic: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile David Clifford wasn't as heavily relied on as normal this year but he was still instrumental to everything good from The Kingdom. His 2-pointer in the first half followed by ferocious roar rallied the Kerry players and crowd as it started to feel like it would be their day. Cliiford's goal and 2-pointer were perfect examples of Clifford being outer-wordly. It had fans salivating on Twitter with some even questioning is Clifford human. David Clifford. Best Gaelic player I've ever watched. Incredible talent! — Alan Cawley (@alancaw) July 12, 2025 Is that the best two-pointer we've seen in Championship Football yet? David Clifford fields a Foley pass, sliding out on his knees, gets up and curls over the level the game on twenty minutes – 0-06 apiece – Niall Devlin doing a big job on Paudie Clifford. #GAA — Tommy Rooney (@TomasORuanaidh) July 12, 2025 David Clifford is no longer the goat. Upgrade. From this day forward he'll be known as the alien. I'm convinced he's not from here. 👽 — GAA juggernaut (@GAAjuggernaut) July 12, 2025 David Clifford conjures moments that would have a congregation of atheists putting down the payer mat and giving thanks to a higher power. — Roy Curtis (@RoyCurtis68) July 12, 2025 Kerry will have to wait and see if they'll face Donegal or Meath in the All-Ireland final. For a player of David Clifford's ability, he's ought to have won more already in his career but at only 26, he has so much ahead of him.
