Michael Murphy hailed as 'incredible legend' after All-Ireland final defeat
Sunday's All-Ireland final had been primed to be the greatest day of Michael Murphy's legendary career. After a number of seasons away from the intercounty scene, Murphy returned at the beginning of the season to help Jim McGuinness try and win a second Celtic Cross. Murphy has been immense all year and was excellent again on Sunday, contributing four points in a losing cause as Kerry ran out comfortable winners at Croke Park. After the final whistle blew, a disconsolate Murphy slumped to the turf. Gavin White walked the steps of the Hogan Stand to lift the Sam Maguire Cup, and judging by the look on 35-year-old Murphy's face, it was as if he feared his last chance at winning Sam for a second time had slipped away. There was perhaps one moment of slight solace for Murphy on Sunday however and that was when the 82,000 fans at Croke Park paid a special tribute to the legendary full-forward. Before handing over the Sam Maguire Cup to Kerry skipper White, GAA President Jarlath Burns reserved special words for Murphy, whom he worked with as part of the Football Rules Committee. "To Donegal, I know you will be disappointed, you have won two Ulster titles in a row," began Burns. "And I think it would be remiss of me if I didn't mention a man who played his 89th Championship match today. And that is Michael Murphy. "He owes his county nothing. He is the best player ever to come from your county and we should all be proud to have watched that man play. "What an incredible legend he has been for Donegal." Murphy made his debut for Donegal in 2007 and retired 15 years later in 2022. During that time, he won multiple Ulster titles and the 2012 All-Ireland, scoring a wondergoal against Mayo in the final. He returned for the 2025 season and won another Ulster title in the green and yellow of Donegal.

‘Like Jack Charlton used to' - Ex-Ireland star outlines League of Ireland plan
Ex-Ireland defender Terry Phelan has revealed that he would love to work in the League of Ireland one day - and follow in the footsteps of Jack Charlton by engaging in one of his former manager's favourite hobbies. Phelan is currently in India with Bangalore-based South United FC, where he is working with all strands of the club - from youth up to the senior team. And while he is in no hurry to leave, Phelan has ambitions to work in Ireland, but not necessarily as a manager. 'Maybe I end up back in Ireland one day, who knows, doing a little bit of education there and doing a little bit of fishing like Jack Charlton used to,' he told MirrorSport. 'Who knows? I might stay in India for the rest of my life. You never know. I'm like that. Wherever the wind blows. If it's something I want to do, then why not?' Phelan, who spent much of his childhood in his mother's hometown of Tubbercurry in Sligo, was tempted late last year by the vacant Wexford post, but opted to remain in India. Phelan was speaking to MirrorSport in association with NetBet Irish Online Casino. He said: 'I was thinking, should I or shouldn't I? I thought, I'm not ready for that yet. 'When I mean, I'm not ready, I've got to finish stuff over here, I've still got that little dream over here of maybe getting one or two players into Europe, maybe into Ireland.

'If there are any guys out there who want to work with me and look at players, I am open to that. We are hoping to expose players, give them that exposure.' As for any future role within Irish football, he added: 'I'd just love to come in and develop players. Mentoring is key now. 'I don't think we have a lot of mentors about, especially when they jump from the youth team and they are catapulted into the first-team. The coach can only do so much. 'I'd love to go into a mentoring role and have that link between the youth and first-team, be somebody they can talk to, somebody their parents can talk to. I think that's what they need. 'In our day, we mentored ourselves. With the stresses of the world on these players, and they really want to get there, they want it quick, maybe they need people to sit them down and show them the way. 'Maybe one day… I'm 58 now, maybe in a few years I could come back to Ireland and implement something. 'I don't know yet. You never put a number on it. At the moment I'm loving life where I am.'

Family announces death of Irish training great Edward O'Grady
Leading National Hunt trainer Edward O'Grady died on Sunday evening, his family has announced. O'Grady trained a whole host of top-class horses over the course of his long and illustrious career and for a long time was the leading Irish trainer at the Cheltenham Festival where he saddled 18 winners, the first being Mr Midland in the 1974 National Hunt Chase. A statement released by his family through Horse Racing Ireland read: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Edward O'Grady, who passed away peacefully yesterday evening at St James's Hospital (in Dublin), surrounded by his family. "Edward was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also one of the most respected and successful racehorse trainers of his generation. "Over the course of an extraordinary career that spanned more than five decades, Edward trained just shy of 1,700 winners under rules. His name became synonymous with Irish National Hunt racing, and he was a formidable force at Cheltenham and across the racing world. "Beyond the winners and the headlines, Edward was a man of deep intelligence, sharp wit, and remarkable warmth. He had friends on every continent, a story for every occasion, and a lifelong passion for the sport, the hunting field and everything equestrian. "Funeral details will be announced in due course." Perhaps the most talented horse to pass through O'Grady's hands was Golden Cygnet, a brilliant winner of the 1978 Supreme Novices' Hurdle but fatally injured in the Scottish Champion Hurdle the following month. More recent Festival winners for O'Grady include Pizarro, who landed the 2002 Champion Bumper in the hands of top Flat jockey Jamie Spencer, and the 2003 Supreme scorer Back In Front. Away from Cheltenham, O'Grady saddled Sound Man to win successive runnings of the Tingle Creek at Sandown in 1995 and 1996, while his final Grade One winner was Cash And Go in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown's Christmas Festival in 2011. Other top-class horses he trained include 2002 Irish Champion Hurdle winner Ned Kelly and Nick Dundee, who both carried the colours of Coolmore supremo John Magnier.
