Magnificent Waterford IT cup kings again

Waterford IT 0-17 Cork IT 0-12

The WIT captain, having lined out at wing-forward in all three Fitzgibbon Cup group games last month, was called upon my manager Colm Bonnar to fill the number six shirt for the quarter-final clash against DIT. Hesitant he was, but WIT were fast running out of solutions to solve their defensive headache.

Bonnar described the switch “as robbing Peter to pay Paul”, but Murphy’s redeployment proved a masterstroke and there he would remain, an instrumental cog in Saturday’s final win over Cork IT.
