Timeline

1989

Brendan Murphy (born 26 March 1989) (Breandán Ó Murchú) is an Irish sportsman from Rathvilly, County Carlow.

He is a member of the Carlow senior football team, and his local club Rathvilly.

2007

Murphy played minor football for Carlow and was star of the team that lost the Leinster minor football championship final in 2007.

Carlow lost in Round 1 of the championship to Longford, but recovered in the playoffs, causing a massive shock in beating Meath and Wexford, before beating Westmeath and Louth to reach the final.

For a while, it looked like Murphy might miss the final through suspension after receiving a straight red card in the semi-final against Louth.

However, this was overturned on appeal, after video evidence showed that Murphy had been incorrectly disciplined by the referee, and he lined out against Laois in the final at Croke Park.

Carlow trailed by 3-6 to 6 points at half time (all three goals coming from corner forward Conor Meredith), but staged a heroic comeback that included a goal from Jordan Lowry.

But spurned chances, including a goal chance for David Kinsella and a missed penalty by Cormac Mullins, saw the comeback fall short, as Laois took yet another minor championship crown on a score of 3-8 to 1-12.

Despite finishing on the losing side, and then being beaten by Galway in the All Ireland Quarter-final, Murphy's performances throughout the championship led to him being offered a rookie contract with the Sydney Swans AFL team in Australia.

His final game in Carlow before departing for Australia was in the U21 county championship final, which Rathvilly won in a low scoring encounter by 0–5 to 0–2.

Murphy scored Rathvilly's fifth point – a free from 40 metres out.

In early November 2007, Murphy left Ireland and made the journey to Sydney, Australia to attempt a switch from Gaelic football to Australian rules football.

Murphy wrote a column in Carlow newspaper The Nationalist, entitled "Down Under", about his time in Sydney.

He made an impressive start in 2007.

2009

In March 2009, while playing for the Swans Reserves in the AFL Canberra league, Murphy badly injured his shoulder, requiring surgery, just weeks after being forced out of football by a foot injury.

Despite a promising two years in Sydney, Murphy decided to turn down the offer of a contract extension to return to Ireland in late 2009 and resume his Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) career.

Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos expressed the club's disappointment at his decision, and their hope that he might be persuaded to reconsider a return to the club.

Murphy's return immediately reaped dividends for his club, as Rathvilly defeated Old Leighlin to win the 2009 Carlow Senior Football Championship, their first in five years, with Murphy playing an important role.

2010

In 2010, with most of the 2007 minor panel on board, Carlow had serious ambitions of winning the Leinster Under 21 Football Championship for the first time ever.

Murphy again proved to be their standout player.

Lining out at midfield, he scored a vital goal in extra time in the Preliminary Round to beat Offaly in Tullamore, before Carlow dispatched Kilkenny easily in the next round.

Murphy scored five points in the game.

Carlow faced Dublin in the semi-final on Saint Patrick's Day in what proved to be the game of the championship.

Once again, Murphy was the outstanding player on display.

He scored 0-3 from play and dominated the middle of the field, but his Man Of The Match winning performance wasn't enough to beat the Dubs, who ran out one point winners in extra time, by 0-14 to 0-13.

The game ended in controversial circumstances, when Murphy appeared to be fouled by three Dublin defenders close to goal.

However, the referee awarded a free out where a free in would have left Carlow with an easy point to equalise, and Dublin survived, going on to win the All Ireland.

Murphy was awarded the Cadbury Hero of the Future award for March 2010 for his performances against Offaly and Dublin.

Carlow did not fare well in the Leinster SFC Championship, however.

Despite a fine performance from Murphy (scoring 3 points from midfield), they were well beaten by Wicklow in the preliminary round, before losing by 6 points to Derry, a game Murphy missed after receiving a red card the previous day.

Murphy and Rathvilly returned to the Carlow Senior Football Championship final in October 2010, again facing Old Leighlin.

This time, however, the outcome was reversed, with Old Leighlin triumphant.

Game one ended level at 0-7 each.

Rathvilly looked set for victory, after building up a three-point lead in a low-scoring game.

Murphy was at the heart of it, kicking three great points, but also a couple of bad wides.

A Seamus Kinsella free levelled matters in the dying seconds, to force the tie to a replay the following Sunday.

This presented Murphy with a problem, as he was due to line out for Ireland in the International Rules Series against Australia in Limerick the day before the replay.

He decided to play both games, but was visibly tired for the county final, and saw a red card in the final few minutes as Old Leighlin prevailed on a scoreline of 1–11 to 0–7.

2011

In 2011, Murphy missed almost all of Carlow's NFL Division 4 campaign due to an ankle injury sustained in their second game against Fermanagh.

Carlow were ultimately denied promotion on the final day with defeat in a "winner takes all" game in Longford.
