A quiet Christmas and a lively January. That is the Watergrasshill wish list as articulated by Adam Murphy earlier this week.

Murphy, in his first year back with Watergrasshill after a stint with Bandon, has been one of the key jigsaw pieces in their transformation from annual group fallers to Cork Premier intermediate and Munster intermediate champions. He top-scored in both of those final wins, contributing 1-12 in the latter.
