William Moloney (21 April 1875 – 22 July 1954), known as Billex Moloney, was an Irish hurler.[1] At club level he played with St Finbarr's and was a member of the Cork senior hurling team.[2]

Career[edit]

Moloney began his association with the St Finbarr's club at a time when teams were 21-a-side. Regarded by the club as "one of the best defenders of all time", he was in defence when "the Barr's" won their inaugural County Championship title in 1899.[3] He won a further three titles as part of a three-in-a-row of successes from 1904 to 1906. Moloney had lined out in a number of tournament and exhibition games for the Cork senior hurling team before becoming a regular member of the team during the delayed 1902 championship. He went on to win three Munster Championship titles in four seasons, however, an All-Ireland Championship title eluded him. Moloney went on to train and serve as a selector with a number of St. Finbarr's teams after his retirement from playing.
