Johnny Murphy will take charge of Cork’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Galway in Croke Park on Saturday.

The Limerick match official was the man in the middle when Cork defeated Clare in their final round game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in May. He also supervised Cork’s Division 1A games with Waterford and Offaly as well as Galway’s league clash with The Faithful County.
