The 'Big Feller' has a Grandson!


Michael Murphy's daughter Leoncia (aka Sasa) gave birth to a bouncing, rugby-playing boy, on October 21st. The young prop-forward, weighed in at 8lbs 4.5 ozs, and is seen here relaxing after a few pints of Old Gutwrench winter brew. Both mother and son are doing fine. Sasa has named her son Anastasio Benjamin Michael Frank Murphy, after his grandfather, great grandfather and great great granfathers!
Sasa tells me she is loving the sleepless nights as she can watch her boy laughing and gurgling to his heart's content. Now eight weeks old, the whole family are fascinated by the new addition, and are looking forward to his first Christmas. All his aunties are waiting in the wings until he fully "chubs up" so they can get to work tickling his tummy!
I hear Anastasio has made his first Christmas list for Santa, which includes a rugby ball, a gum-shield and an XXL jock-strap!

Congratulations to Sasa and baby and all the family!
