'Thy Kingdom come' as Tullamore to host Kerry All-Ireland fixture

One of the country's finest footballers is set to grace the green swathe of Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore when Kerry play Meath in the All-Ireland senior football championship on Saturday, June 14 (throw-in, 4.15pm).

David Clifford and his Kingdom colleagues make the journey to the Midlands for their final Group 2 outing knowing that championship progression has already been secured, but a win over Meath will ensure passage directly to the quarter-final stage of this year's Sam Maguire competition.

Opponents Meath are assured of a preliminary quarter-final berth but victory in Tullamore will ensure that they by-pass this fixture and advance to the quarter-final stage at the expense of Kerry.

Clifford's playing prowess is certain to attract neutral gaelic football supporters to the Tullamore venue, such is the ace forward's enduring popularity within the game.
