Career

edit

Dunphy first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Mountrath Community School. He won a Rest of Leinster PPS SBHC title in 2015, before losing the subsequent All-Ireland final to Cross & Passion College from Ballycastle.[2][3] Dunphy has also lined out for SETU Carlow in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[4]

After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks at club level, Dunphy eventually joined the Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton senior team. He won a Laois SHC title in 2016 after Borris beat Rathdowney–Errill in a final replay.[5]

Dunphy first appeared on the inter-county scene with Laois during an unsuccessful two-year tenure with the minor team.[6][7] He progressed to the under-21 team in 2017.[8] Dunphy also made his senior team debut that season when he came on as substitute in a National Hurling League defeat of Offaly.[9] He secured his first silverware in 2019 when Laois won the Joe McDonagh Cup title after a defeat of Westmeath in the final.[10] He captained Laois to the National Hurling League Division 2A in 2024.[11]
