Murphy generation game takes another twist

Sometime next year, certainly in league and possibly championship, the veteran secretary of the Sarsfields club will smile across at the first-year secretary of Erin’s Own, and give a knowing nod.

They’re neighbours of course, the two Cork clubs, and as such are also strong rivals. There is also though an inter-connectivity between Sars and Erin’s Own and in this particular instance, it couldn’t be closer.

Jim Murphy has been a player and official with Sarsfields for longer than he can remember, club secretary for several years. Jamie Murphy, likewise, has been involved with Erin’s Own and, last week, was elected club secretary for the first time.
