*David Clifford takes on Manus Doherty. Photograph: Gerard O’Neill. CLARE’s interest in Kerry football is almost as old as the Gaelic Athletic Association itself. The proximity of West Clare to North Kerry has resulted in football followers from all over West Clare which is mainly ‘football territory’ taking a keen interest in the progress of Kerry teams. Since the launch of the Killimer to Tarbert car ferry in 1969, Clare fans have made regular crossings to attend club games in Kerry.

Clare’s management were annoyed with the decision to award the Déise a penalty on forty two minutes but they acknowledged the Banner’s display was not good enough.
