The 32-year-old defender was moved from Waterford Regional Hospital (WRH) yesterday suffering bleeding from the brain. Doctors in WRH had been reluctant to release Murphy after he was complaining of severe headaches.

Friday’s game in Cappoquin between Murphy’s club Shamrocks and Abbeyside’s second team was abandoned following the incident when the player was accidentally struck.
