Death of former Tipp All Ireland winner

Tributes are being paid to former Tipp All Ireland winner Michael Murphy who has passed away at the age of 99.

The Clare native moved to Tipperary in 1940 and lined out for the Tipp hurlers from 1943 to ’49 before moving to Dublin.

Former editor of the Tipperary Star Michael Dundon says Mick Murphy also had considerable success with Thurles Sarsfields.
