The medal was awarded in the literary competition for his play Birthright, eligible for the competition because of its reference to hurling.

The award is commemorated in a plaque on the family home in New Street.

It is also included in the Biography of the playwright TC Murray Dramatist — Voice of Rural Ireland by Albert F De Giacomo published by Syracuse University Press, New York (2003).
