I was thinking Ollie Murphy, its somebody Murphy but not sure what would make it Ollie? And if it was, I'd say Breff would have got it by now, I'm fairly sure Ollie is his favourite Meath footballer!!!!

breff is top class - I thought Eamon o hara might be a sticky one - only expected Black and white or Puddersthecat to get it

I'll have to admit my ignorance of the Kilkenny Hurler, but the clue was good enough for me to get it anyway. "his counties 3rd allstar" (in the last 10 or so years) narrows it down a good bit and when I thought of o'hara I only had to check if an o'hara from Kilkenny won an allstar in 1983! although I thought the hairy feline part meant Lyons or something for a while!
