Career

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]
