Cork veteran Brian Murphy calls time on intercounty career

The Bride Rovers man informed JBM that it’s the end of the road.

JIMMY BARRY-MURPHY will have to plan without the experienced Brian Murphy this year.

The Bride Rovers clubman informed the Cork management last night that he is calling time on his intercounty career.

“While we are disappointed to lose Brian, we wish him well in his retirement”, said the Rebels manager. “He was a hugely influential player and I would like to thank him for all his efforts.”

The 31-year-old won two Celtic crosses with Cork in a career in which he marked himself out as one of the top defenders in the game.

Young Hurler of the Year in 2004, Murphy also helped Bride Rovers to an All-Ireland IFC title. The Rathcormac outfit also narrowly lost out to Sarsfields in a senior county decider in 2008.
