Molumphy hails new kids on block

A COUPLE of weeks ago, Waterford’s Stephen Molumphy looked around in training and started counting. By the time he was done, he figured he was the third oldest player there.

“I turned 27 last month so you can imagine how I felt,” laughed last year’s captain. “Only a couple of years ago I was the new kid on the block and now I’m the opposite. Desperate stuff.”

Admittedly, some of the old guard had yet to come back to training at that time but Molumphy’s point is well made, especially as Waterford are struggling with injuries to their more experienced players. Whether Waterford supporters like it or not, the young bloods will be getting their chance in the early Division 1 rounds.
