History

Murray plays her club camogie for St Patrick's GFC, Cullyhanna.[2] She made her camogie debut for Armagh in 2003.[1] Until 2010, she had won two All Ireland Nancy Murray Cups, an Ulster senior championship and two Ulster intermediate championships.[2] In 2010, she was awarded a Soaring Star award by the An Cumann Camogaiochta (Camogie Association).[3] She was made captain of Armagh in 2011.[4] In 2014, the Camogie Association of Ireland announced they were establishing an award for longevity and each GAA county were entitled to nominate a camogie player for this award. The Armagh county board announced that they were awarding their "Camogie Player of the Decade" to Murray.[2] In 2015, she stepped away from county camogie for two months due to disillusionment. During her hiatus, she played gaelic football for Boston.[4]

Career

Murray is a teacher at St Patrick's High School, where she also taught Armagh teammates Ciara Hill, Catherine Beagan, Ella Mone, Eimear Smyth and Leah McGoldrick whilst playing alongside them in inter-county camogie.[1] Together they reached the 2016 All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship.[1] Though Armagh were unsuccessful in the final, Murray won a Junior Soaring Star.[5]
