David Clifford leads the squad in 2020, aged just 21A Kerry GAA motion to change the process for selecting the county team's captain was defeated on Monday evening. The Kingdom is one of the few remaining counties in GAA that operates under a system where the previous year's club champions nominate the intercounty team's captain. This season, David Clifford was appointed captain after leading East Kerry GAA to the county title during the winter. A Kerry County Committee motion to give the power of selection to the team manager from 2021 onward, proposed by the Beaufort club, was defeated. The Kilkenny hurlers also operate under such a captaincy selection system, although the majority of teams in the country have parted with the tradition.
