[edit] Inter-county Career

[edit] Background

Derek Murray hails from Clondalkin, Dublin. He attended Moyle Park Secondary School in Clondalkin Village. Derek currently plays for Round Towers GAA Club in Clondalkin along with his brother Damien winner of two Trench Cup Finals with the great IT Tallaght teams of the early 2000's. In many ways Damien has helped to mould Derek into both the footballer and man he is today. A renowned goal scorer Derek has a goal to game ratio of over 3 to 1.

[edit] 2006

Derek made his debut for Dublin in the 2006 O'Byrne Cup. His hard work was rewarded with a starting place for Dublin Vs Tyrone in the first round of the 2006 Allianz National League. Unfortunately, Derek did not make the 2006 Leinster Championship and All-Ireland squad. He did however, take part in training sessions and was a Maor Uisce for Dublin's Leinster/All Ireland Championship campaign.

[edit] 2007

Derek regained his place on the Dublin panel for the 2007 O'Byrne Cup. He was part of the victorous O'Byrne Cup 2007 team with the final finishing in extra time with a scoreline of 1-18 to 2-13 against Laois.[1]. Derek finished the tournament with a total haul of 1-03.[2].
