William Dunphy (born 1992) is an Irish hurler who plays for Laois Senior Championship club Clough–Ballacolla and at inter-county level with the Laois senior hurling team. He currently lines out as a full-forward.

Career

Dunphy first came to prominence as a member of the Clough–Ballacolla club at juvenile and underage levels. He eventually joined the club's senior team and has since won County Championship titles in 2009, 2011 and 2015.[1] He made his first appearances at inter-county level during a two-year stint with the Laois minor team, before a three-year tenure with the Laois under-21 team.[2] Dunphy joined the Laois senior hurling team straight out of the minor grade in 2011 and collected his first silverware two years later with a National Hurling League Division 2A title.[3] He was at corner-forward when Laois secured the 2019 Joe McDonagh Cup title.[4]
