The big interview with Paudie Murray: 'It’s a shame that some coaches shy away from the female game

Paudie Murray had a straightforward and simple objective each season during his decade as Cork camogie manager: ‘Every year I was learning and improving. I couldn’t be the person I was the previous year.’ Though that chapter of his life has concluded, he is preparing for a swift return to patrolling the sidelines

Losing has never sat well with Paudie Murray so after last month’s All-Ireland camogie final finished the way it did, he wasn’t in the mood to stay around Dublin.

“I’m not a drinking man,” he professes, “and it doesn’t sit well with me when teams go on the tear after losing a game.”
