It was a successful campaign for Cork and Murphy collected a National Hurling League medal following a 3-7 to 1-5 defeat of Dublin in the decider.
Murphy later won his first Munster medal following a three-game saga with Tipperary, culminating in a 3-6 to 2-4 victory for Cork.
Cork retained the provincial crown in 1927, with Murphy collecting a second Munster medal following a 5-3 to 3-4 defeat of Clare.
Cork fought back in the third quarter, however, an expert display of goalkeeping by Tommy Daly saved the day by keeping Mick "Gah" Ahern scoreless, as Dublin went on to win by 4-8 to 1-3.
