Michael Murphy: Donegal GAA is striving to improve

Donegal v Monaghan

Donegal star Michael Murphy believes there is a "purity" about the repetition of training as he outlined the strong individual and team baselines for excellence left by Jim McGuinness and the previous management team.

Murphy was sent off last weekend as Donegal handed Cork their first league defeat of the season, but not before he had made a significant contribution that included one booming free from more than 50 metres that helped build a lead his side just about hung on to in the face of late Cork pressure.
