Murphy's

Murphy's is a GAA equipment brand covering the two core codes — ash hurleys for hurling and camogie, and a graded range of Gaelic footballs built around skill development at underage level. McSport Ireland stocks Murphy's across our GAA equipment department. Intro Ash Hurley — available 26" through 34", covering juvenile through to adult Graded Gaelic footballs — First Touch Size 3, Quick Touch U10s and Smart Touch Size 4, each weighted for the age group Club ball packs — Quick Touch U10s in 10-pack with bag and 12-pack, for squads and primary schools Junior gloves — Murphy Glove Junior 6 for under-12s Murphy's GAA equipment in Ireland The graded ball range is the useful part for coaches: a size 3 First Touch ball behaves very differently in small hands to a full size 4, and matching ball to age group is one of the simplest ways to accelerate skill acquisition. McSport supplies GAA clubs and schools nationwide. What size hurley does my child need? Hurley length is chosen by height, not age. A rough guide: stand the hurley beside the player — the top of the handle should reach roughly to the hip bone. Murphy's Intro hurleys run from 26" for young juveniles up to 34" for adults. What is the difference between First Touch, Quick Touch and Smart Touch footballs? They are graded by age and skill level. First Touch (Size 3) is the lightest, for the youngest players. Quick Touch is designed for U10s. Smart Touch (Size 4) is the standard underage match ball.
