Aidan Murphy has turned the corner in rediscovering the winning formula, this time beating Patrick Flood by a bowl of odds in the Willie Whelton Cup at Grange.

Two weeks after he eliminated European Champion, Séamus Sexton, from the Mother Hegarty Cup he dismissed Flood, the newest member of the senior fold and current All-Ireland intermediate champion. These are critical wins for a player who had an unenviable run. They start to edge him back up the pecking order as thoughts begin to shift to the 2023 senior championship.
