Call of duty turns captain Molumphy back into lieutenant

WATERFORD had to plan without their captain for the second half of yesterday’s Allianz hurling league clash with Kilkenny.

However, it wasn’t injury, suspension or a tactical switch that sidelined Stephen Molumphy in Nowlan Park yesterday.

There was surprise when the Waterford star, who had scored a fine first-half point, didn’t resume his position on the field for the second period but the reason was a good one — he was literally answering a call to arms.
