PAUL MURPHY HAS been named as man of the match for the All-Ireland senior football final after an impressive display in his side’s 2-09 to 0-12 win over Donegal today.
Kerry’s defence was resolute all day and consistently crowded out the Donegal attackers. Murphy gave a great account of himself as part of a airtight rearguard that also had Peter Crowley nominated for the award.
Kieran Donaghy, who scored 1-02, was also nominated but The Sunday Game panel decided to give the award to Murphy.
