Chris Murphy (hurler)

Chris Murphy, born in 1985 in Blackrock, County Cork, is an Irish sportsman who plays hurling with his local club Blackrock and has been a member of the Cork senior team since 2009, when he was called up because of the 2008 panel strike. He was also a Cork senior football panelist in 2006 and 2007 before deciding to concentrate on hurling, and in 2005 he won a Junior All Ireland Football medal with Cork. The following year he represented Cork in both under-21 football and hurling, winning a Munster under-21 football medal from full back while also playing full back with the under-21 hurlers, who were beaten in the Munster final by Tipperary. He was awarded Man of the Match for his display at full back in the 2009 National League game against Tipperary in Thurles.
