Well done to Mattie Murphy for the invaluable commitment and service he has given to Galway hurling for the past few decades. To manage your county to five All-Ireland minor titles is a magnificent achievement and hopefully there will be more to come. He was very astute and cool on the sideline again last weekend and he made some terrific tactical adjustments in the last quarter when things needed to be freshened up. It is hard to beat experience, especially in the cauldron of Croke Park on All-Ireland final day and Murphy has it in spades now.

Galway took their eighth ESB All-Ireland Minor Hurling title in impressive fashion following a four-point win over Kilkenny at Croke Park on Sunday.

With the Liam McCarthy once again safe in the bag for another year, the attentions turned to the All-Ireland u-21 and camogie finals last Sunday. It must be said that a small Kilkenny contingent made the trip up the N9 and N78 to Croker to cheer on the Cats in their quest for honours.

Following Kilkenny’s magnificent display in Croke Park this year, Brian Cody’ s new book Cody must be the most eagerly anticipated sporting book of the year and it is to be made available early to ploughers next week.
