Murphy the Tribe minor mastermind

MATTIE MURPHY has been synonymous with Galway underage success since first getting involved in inter-county management in 1989.

Manager for six of the county’s nine All-Ireland minor winning sides, he started his career by steering the Tribesmen’s U14s to a first ever Tony Forrestal victory.

Yesterday he added another minor title to the ones from 1992, 1994, 2004, 2005 and 2009 and further embellished his distinguished reputation.
