Fraggie getting used to the good times

THIRD county final in-a-row for Sarsfields’ Kieran ‘Fraggie’ Murphy this Sunday, against the Glen in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, but it never gets old, not for a guy who has known the bad days in the now-thriving east Cork club.

Fraggie getting used  to  the  good  times

“I was playing senior hurling with Sars for nine or 10 years, since I was 16, without coming near a final,” says the current Cork captain, “And now three-in-a-row. Good times. It’s a huge achievement for the club, all the good work put in at underage coming to fruition. There’s been massive development at both juvenile and senior level over the last 10 to 15 years. We all came through the underage structure, though when I was starting we didn’t have what we have now. The foresight of the people here, to build the astroturf pitch, then the hurling alleys, the clubhouse, the gym — as club players, we’re blessed with the facilities.”

Blessed indeed, but the club itself is blessed to have a talent such as Fraggie on their books. A model trainer, work-rate second to none, a shining example to all the youngsters who have enjoyed so much recent success.
