St Brigid's GAA club in Roscommon has congratulated Niall Murray on winning the Grand Slam with the Ireland U20 rugby team in Wales last night.
The towering 6'7" second row starred as Ireland came from behind to win 26-17 and claim the Grand Slam for only the second time in their history.
Murray came off the bench for Roscommon in their one-point victory over Sligo in the 2016 Connacht MFC quarter-final before concentrating on the oval ball. His success with the Ireland U20s comes after fellow St Brigid's clubman Jack Carty, who has also represented the Rossies at minor level, broke into the Irish senior rugby team

TweetCongratulations to Niall Murray and all the u20’s great win 💚☘️🇮🇪
