Brian Molloy (born 9 September 1995) is an Irish hurler. At club level, he plays with Kilnadeema–Leitrim and he has also lined out at inter-county level with various Galway teams.
Molloy first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Brigid's Vocational School in Loughrea. He was part of the school's senior team that won the All-Ireland Vocational Schools SHC title in 2011.[1] He later lined out with Maynooth University in the Fitzgibbon Cup, while he also captured a Kehoe Cup title in 2017.[2] [3]
At club level, Molloy first played at juvenile and underage levels with Kilnadeema–Leitrim, before eventually progressing to adult level.[4] He was full-forward on the team that suffered defeat by Rower-Inistioge in the 2014 All-Ireland Club IHC final.[5]
Molloy's inter-county career with Galway began with a three-year association with the minor team. He was a 15-year-old non-playing substitute when he claimed an All-Ireland MHC winners' medal in 2011.[6] Molloy was denied a second medal when Waterford beat Galway in the 2013 All-Ireland minor final.[7] A three-year association with the under-21 team yielded little in terms of on-field success. He captained the team to a defeat by Waterford in the 2016 All-Ireland under-21 final.[8] Molloy also earned inclusion on the Team of the Year in 2015 and 2016.[9] [10]
By this stage, Molloy had already joined the senior team, having made his debut during the successful Walsh Cup campaign in 2015.[11] He also won an All-Ireland IHC medal that year and was a non-playing substitute when Kilkenny beat the senior team in the 2015 All-Ireland final.[12] Molloy remained a peripheral figure with the team over the following few years and was a member of the extended training panel when Galway beat Waterford to claim the All-Ireland SHC title in 2017.[13]
