Kevin Kilmurray (1950 – 4 December 2022)[1] was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for his local club Daingean and at senior level for the Offaly county team from 1969 until 1980.[2]
Kilmurray was from Daingean, County Offaly.[3]
He managed the Offaly senior football team from November 2004 until 2006.[4][3] Kilmurray had two championship seasons in charge, most notably steering Offaly to the 2006 Leinster SFC final. That remained Offaly's most recent appearance there at the time of his death.[5]
Kilmurray's death was announced on 4 December 2022; he had reached the age of 72.[6][7] He was the fifth member of the 1971–72 Offaly team to die, following Larry Coughlan, Kieran Claffey, Mick O'Rourke and Paddy Fenning.[8]
