Thomas Murphy (born 19 March 1969) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Mooncoin and was a member of the Kilkenny senior hurling team. Murphy lined out in defence and as a forward.
Playing career
[edit]Murphy played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Mooncoin club, before progressing onto the club's top adult team with whom he won two Kilkenny Intermediate Championship titles.[citation needed] Murphy first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor team before later winning an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship title.[1] A season with the Kilkenny junior team yielded an All-Ireland Junior Championship title, a victory which resulted in him being drafted onto the Kilkenny senior hurling team. Murphy went on to line out in three consecutive All-Ireland finals at senior level and, after defeat by Tipperary in 1991, claimed consecutive winners' medals after coming on as a substitute against Cork in 1992 and Galway in 1993.[2][3][4] His other honours at senior level include three consecutive Leinster Championship medals.
