Murphy did not play in the final game against Wexford, as he had already received two black cards during the campaign and one more would put him out of the Leinster championship game against the same opponents.
945:. Carlow would go on to have arguably their most successful Leinster Championship in six decades. They won back-to-back games in Leinster for the first time since 1996 (when they beat Wexford and Wicklow in a preliminary round group), and for only the second time since 1948. What's more, they won them well, dismantling Louth in Portlaoise on a scoreline of 2-17 to 0-12, before beating

Timely goals from Chris Blake and Darragh O'Brien kept them in touch, despite Louth's superior firepower, and Brendan Murphy contributed two points from midfield. Carlow were still within 2 points of their opponents after 62 minutes, but
693:. Murphy received black cards in the dying stages of both the game against Waterford and against Wicklow, as he sought to preserve what Carlow held. Despite some positive results, an injury to star forward Paul Broderick in Belfast was to serve as a big blow to both their league and championship ambitions as he did not participate again for the rest of the season.
542:. Murphy was, at times, simply unstoppable on the day, scoring a point from midfield, but it was his running with the ball which caused Meath all sorts of problems. A Carlow side depleted by injury (Daniel St Ledger) and suspension (Derek Hayden and Paul Reid) were well beaten in the replay (2-21 to 9 points, Murphy again scoring a point), but ran

In Murphy's absence, Carlow dismissed Leitrim on a scoreline of 2-14 to 0-13, with Paul Broderick and Ciaran Moran providing the goals.
858:. Carlow set out to frustrate their more illustrious opponents, and many observers were shocked to see Carlow still within a score at the break; Dublin leading 0-8 to 0-5. There was still just four points between the teams with 22 minutes remaining when Murphy received his second yellow card after a tussle with

In the club championship, Murphy was deployed in the half back line for

In the Carlow SFC final, Rathvilly once again succumbed to Old

In the club championship, Rathvilly suffered yet another county final defeat (their second in a row and the fourth of Murphy's career) when they were beaten by Eire Og, 2-8 to 1-8, in a replay. The loss was particularly disappointing, as

Carlow drew neighbours
Wicklow in the first round of the qualifiers, and came through with a 1-17 to 1-12 win at Dr. Cullen Park. Carlow led from start to finish, and were in front by as much as eight points at one stage. Murphy was a key man in the victory, bursting through the Wicklow defence to

However, Murphy was not a part of either win. Shortly after the defeat to Laois at Croke Park he announced that he would be leaving the panel ahead of the Leinster championship campaign to spend the summer in America. He therefore missed Carlow's return to Croke Park to face Laois (again) in the
