Murphy Crowe latest Tipp FM Sport’s Star winner

Rugby player Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe is the latest Tipp FM Sport’s Star of the Month.

The Tipp Town native took the May award in association with the Talbot Hotel, Clonmel and John Quirke Jewellers, Cahir.

Nominations for this month included show jumper Denis Lynch, Tipp minor hurler Paddy McCormack and Irish amateur snooker champion Brendan O’Donoghue.

However the award for this month went to Ireland international rugby player Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe. The Tipp Town native began the month of May with the Irish sevens team in Canada, where she scored 12 tries in six games as Ireland claimed the bronze medal.

Murphy Crowe continued her great form in the Toulouse series where she added four more tries to her season tally en route to finishing the season as the top try scorer for a second time. The Tipperary woman finished on 36 tries for the campaign and was the worthy winner of May’s Tipp FM sportstar of the month award
