Eoin Murphy: ‘I’ve been more physically drained in this role than playing’

You can take the man out of the corner, but he never really stops being a corner-back.

Ask Waterford selector Eoin Murphy to recall the great Cork-Waterford clashes of the 2000s and it’s a defensive intervention he recalls first.

“I suppose 2004 (Munster final), we went from nearly losing the match . . . I just remember a flick from one of the defenders, maybe Declan Prendergast, it looked like a Cork goal and we went back up and got a point, I think Seamus (Prendergast) got on the end of it and got us over the line.
