All-Ireland winning football star David Clifford has graduated from University of Limerick today
(Tuesday).
The Kerry GAA star forward was conferred with a Masters in PE Teaching at UL this Tuesday, among
thousands of students receiving their parchments this week.
The 23-year-old played a starring role in UL GAA’s Sigerson Cup Final run, claimed the Higher
Education Rising Star Footballer of the Year Award, and was Man of the Match in the All-Ireland
Football Final this year.
A Silver Scholarship recipient at UL, David has been in the UL Sports Scholarships Academy for the
past two years, allowing him access to the high-performance gym to keep up his demanding sporting
regime while taking the course.
The Kerry star is among almost 3,300 new graduates being conferred at UL over five days of the
2022 Autumn Conferring Ceremonies this week.
Speaking ahead of his graduation, David Clifford said: “I couldn’t recommend it (the course) enough
in terms of the time we were in college and the work placements that we had. The lecturers and the
sports department were very accommodating and friendly, especially in helping me to balance my
studies and our Sigerson Cup Final run. Coming up to Limerick was a bit daunting at first, but the
sports facilities (at UL) alone are unbelievable.”

“As you step out into the world as our ambassadors by joining the more than 118,000 alumni around the world, we want you to be proud of your institution.”
