Mick Murphy Perpetual Plate at Bishopland Polo Club
Kieran ‘Bottle’ Doyle for Killenagh (centre) was on the ball after whacking it high overhead of Sixt’s Mark Stone and David Stone. Bottle was backed up in the play by Tom Small and Jennifer Doyle.
The Mick Murphy Perpetual Plate was presented in his memory by his widow, Philomena Murphy on behalf of the pub he founded back in 1968. The pub is a well known hot spot for locals as well as its sessions, organised by professional and amateur musicians from around the country.
