Walter 'Wattie' Dunphy (1895–1972) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-back for the Kilkenny senior team. Dunphy made his first appearance for the team during the 1922 championship and became a regular player over the next decade. During that time he won one All-Ireland winner's medal and four Leinster winner's medals. In 1922 Dunphy captained the team to the All-Ireland title. At club level, Dunphy played with Mooncoin and won six county championship winners' medals in a career that spanned three decades. Dunphy also won a Railway Cup winners' medal when he was chosen as captain on the first Leinster inter-provincial championship-winning team. ==Personal life== Born in Luffany, Mooncoin, County Kilkenny, Dunphy was the second eldest son of a family of ten born to Richard and Elizabeth Dunphy. He received a national school education locally, however, like many of his contemporaries he later left school to work on the family farm. The Dunphy brothers all shared a passion for hurling and many lined out for both club and county: Joe, who before entering the priesthood played for Kilkenny in the late 1920s; Eddie, who played in the All-Ireland finals of 1922 and 1926; William, who was a substitute on the defeated All-Ireland team of 1935 and Richard, whose hurling was confined to his club. Two of Dunphy’s nephews later lined out for their native-county of Kilkenny. Dick Dunphy was the goalkeeping understudy to the legendary Ollie Walsh throughout the 1960s while Joe Dunphy Jnr. captained Kilkenny to back-to-back All-Ireland titles at minor level in 1961 and 1962 before later lining out at senior level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wattie Dunphy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
