Murphy to make the miles count
In the spring months this year, Shane Murphy would head for London-Luton airport on the Friday evenings that Milltown-Castlemaine played Kerry county league games.
The flight to Farranfore left at 6pm and by the time the club went training that night, Murphy would be on the pitch with them. Sunday nights saw him embark on the return journey but when flight schedules were altered in April, he found himself leaving his home in Islington on Saturday mornings and utilising the Cork to Stansted route instead to head back for the weekend.
