The wall on the Paddy Grace Stand side of UPMC Nowlan Park has been painted with Kilkenny GAA and Camogie stars
Paul Murphy, a teacher at Gowran National School and a native of Lisdowney, is once again leaving his artistic mark on the walls of UPMC Nowlan Park as his mural project on the walls of Kilkenny GAA HQ continues.
Having previously created striking tributes to TJ Reid, Tommy Walsh, Bruce Springsteen, and many more, Murphy has now added another legendary figure to what has become a celebrated 'golden wall' showcasing iconic stars.
Former Kilkenny manager and six-time All-Ireland winner, Derek Lyng is the latest inductee with Murphy completing his latest addition in under an hour.
Lyng’s four year tenure as county boss came to an end following their Leinster Championship exit at the hands of Dublin in May.
