Déise Manager Search: Molumphy Emerges as Front Runner
Waterford is intensifying its search for a new senior hurling manager, with Stephen Molumphy emerging as the front runner for the position. The Déise captain's coaching experience and playing career make him a strong candidate.
What Happened?
The search for Peter Queally's successor has intensified in recent days, with a five-man selection committee panel established to interview prospective candidates.

He has a stellar playing career for Waterford, making his debut in 2006 and going on to win two Munster titles and a National League, as well as an All-Star in 2007. He also won a Waterford Senior Hurling Championship medal with Ballyduff Upper in 2007.
