When people talk about the magic of sport, it is a term that Deirdre Murphy can relate to when recalling how her journey began.
It has been a journey filled with success both on and off the field, with the Clooney-Quin woman going on to help steer the fortunes of UL as the GAA Development Offier in a period that saw the college winning all bar one of the top level titles in the Higher Education competitions. Those talents and experience are also being harnessed at the moment by the new Club Clare hurling supporters group, with Clare manager Brian Lohan knowing only too well what someone like Deirdre can bring to the table.
