Murphy star of show as Con turn on style

IF Frank Murphy’s failure to make the cut with Munster is irritating him, it’s hardly the end of the world. Not when Cork Constitution are pressing for AIB League honours and Murphy is one of the stars of the show.

Murphy would love to be involved in Munster’s Heineken Cup fixtures with Castres and Sale in the next fortnight, but though he’s unlikely to figure with the province it could still a fruitful fortnight for him.

After demolishing Blackrock 49-0 at Temple Hill on Saturday with their biggest win of the season, the Temple Hill outfit clawed their way one point closer to their biggest rivals, Shannon and Garryowen, and now they play both in quick succession.
