⭐️ CLBB Hall of Fame Inductee 2025/26 - Timmy Murphy ⭐️
CLBB are honoured to welcome Timmy Murphy into the Cork Ladies Basketball Board Hall of Fame in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to basketball in Cork over the past five decades 👏
A founding member of Glanmire Basketball Club in 1984, Timmy has dedicated countless hours to developing players, teams, and the game itself 🤩
From coaching and administration to mentoring generations of young athletes, his impact on Cork basketball has been immense 💪
Timmy’s involvement in the sport stretches far beyond Glanmire. A former Cork County Board Chairman in the 2000s, and Basketball Ireland President from 2009–2011, he has continuously worked to grow and strengthen basketball at every level 🏀
He also proudly represented Glanmire as a player, winning Cork County Board Division 4 Player of the Year in 1986 😉⭐️
Over the years, Timmy coached numerous successful teams, including Glanmire’s first national title-winning U19B side in 1999, while also helping shape the pathway that would later see Glanmire become one of Ireland’s leading clubs 🔵⚪️🏆
Many international players have come through the ranks under his guidance, and he remains as passionate and involved today as he was back in 1984 - still spending evenings in Upper Glanmire Community Hall coaching, mentoring, and supporting the next generation 💫
Known throughout the basketball community for his dedication, warmth, and trademark suit and pink shirt on game days, Timmy has had a positive impact on countless players and families over the years. As many say, he truly is the “Lord Mayor of Cork Basketball” 🌟
On behalf of everyone in CLBB, we sincerely thank Timmy for his lifelong dedication to the game and congratulate him on this hugely deserved honour 👏🎉
Welcome to the CLBB Hall of Fame, Timmy Murphy ⭐️🏀
