Stephen Molumphy

Stephen Molumphy (born 11 January 1984) is an Irish former hurler with Waterford senior hurling team. He played for Waterford Senior Championship club Ballyduff Upper and was a member of the Waterford senior hurling team for nine seasons, during which time he usually lined out in midfield or as a left wing-forward.

Molumphy first came to prominence as a hurler with St. Colman's College in Fermoy. He played in every grade of hurling and enjoyed success by winning a Dean Ryan Cup medal before eventually joining the college's senior hurling team.

On 25 March 2001, Molumphy was part of the team when St. Colman's College defeated St. Flannan's College from Ennis by 2–12 to 0–15 to win the Harty Cup. When St. Colman's College faced Gort Community School in the All-Ireland final on 5 May 2001, Molumphy played at corner forward and ended the game with a winners' medal following the 2–10 to 2–07 victory.

Molumphy became one of the leaders of the starting fifteen during the 2002 Harty Cup. On 23 March 2002, he scored a point from left wing-forward when St. Colman's College defeated Our Lady's Secondary School from Templemore by 2–18 to 0–06 to retain the Harty Cup title. Molumphy was selected at left wing-forward for the All-Ireland final against St. Kieran's College from Kilkenny on 28 April 2002. He scored a point from play and claimed a second successive All-Ireland medal after an 0–11 to 2–04 victory.

During his studies at NUI Galway, Molumphy quickly became a member of the senior hurling team. On 10 March 2007, he lined out at midfield when NUI Galway suffered a 0–13 to 1–07 defeat by the Limerick Institute of Technology in the Fitzgibbon Cup final.

Molumphy joined the Ballyduff Upper club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels before eventually joining the club's top adult team in the Waterford Senior Championship. He is the only club player to captain 3 teams at the highest grade to hurling titles, the U13 A County title 1997, U21 A Western title 2005 and Senior hurling title 2007.

On 6 November 2005, Molumphy lined out at midfield when Ballyduff Upper faced Passage in the Waterford Intermediate Championship final in the 1–13 apiece draw. Molumphy was again dominant at midfield for the replay on 12 November 2005 and ended the game with a winners' medal following the 1–15 to 0–08 victory.

Molumphy was appointed captain of the Ballyduff Upper senior team at the start of the 2006 season until 2010 season. On 4 November 2007, he captained the team to the Waterford Senior Championship title after a 1–18 to 1–14 defeat of Ballygunner in the final. This match is famous for five Molumphy brothers (Patrick, Michael, Thomas, Edward and Stephen Molumphy) being on the same team that won a senior county hurling title in Waterford.
