O’Sullivan: Murphy will be some act to follow

CORK chairman Jerry O’Sullivan last night admitted that outgoing secretary Frank Murphy ‘will be some act to follow’ when he steps down from the post.

Murphy, secretary since 1972 and considered one of the most powerful men in the Association, looks set to retire from the prestigious position before 2011, and possibly as early as next year.

Despite the announcement, made at a Cork County Board executive meeting on Tuesday, O’Sullivan insisted that Mr Murphy remains set to play an integral role in GAA matters on Leeside.
