David Clifford, Sean O’Shea and Paul Geaney haven’t been scoring in the numbers one has come to expect of them, but their manager is more than happy to see Kerry’s scores coming from numerous players in the team, including plenty of points from the defenders
An interesting statistic: of the top five scorers in the Championship so far (the Sam Maguire Cup and the Tailteann Cup) only one of them plays with one of this weekend’s All-Ireland semi-finalists. And, no, it is not David Clifford.
Donegal’s Oisin Gallen sits third on the list, behind top scorer Ryan O’Donoghue from Mayo, and Louth’s Sam Mulroy in second place. Niall Murphy from Sligo and Dublin’s Cormac Costello share fourth place with a total of 35 points.
