Stephen White (born 14 October 1988) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Cork senior team.[1]
Born in Ballygarvan, County Cork, White first played competitive hurling in his younger days. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 and intermediate sides. He made his senior debut in the 2008 National Hurling League.[2] White has since gone on to be a regular member of the team, however, he has yet to claim any silverware.
At club level White is a Munster medallist in the junior grade with Ballygarvan. He has also won a junior championship medal with the club.
Playing career
[edit]Club
[edit]White plays his club hurling and Gaelic football with Ballygarvan and has enjoyed much success.
In 2004 White was only fifteen years-old when he started playing with the club's top team. A 3-7 to 1-12 defeat of Grenagh gave him a junior championship medal.[3] Ballygravan later claimed the provincial crown, with White collecting a Munster medal following a 0-16 to 1-5 defeat of Tramore.[4]
Inter-county
[edit]White joined the Cork minor hurling team in 2005 and made his championship debut when he came on as a substitute in a 4-28 to 0-1 trouncing of Kerry in the Munster quarter-final. He later collected his first Munster medal following a 2-18 to 1-12 defeat of Limerick.[5]
White was eligible for the minor grade again in 2006. A 2-20 to 1-15 defeat of Tipperary gave him a second Munster medal on the field of play.[6]
In 2007 White made his Cork under-21 debut. On 1 August 2007 he won a Munster medal in this grade following a 1-20 to 0-10 trouncing of Waterford.[7]
White made his senior debut with Cork during the 2008 National Hurling League, while he also linked up with the Cork intermediate hurling team.[8]
After a number of years off the team, White returned to the Cork senior team in 2013.[9] On 14 July 2013 White made his senior championship debut when he came on as a substitute in the Munster decider. Cork faced a 0-24 to 0-15 defeat by Limerick on that occasion.[10] On 8 September 2013 White came on as a substitute in the All-Ireland decider against Clare. Three second-half goals through Conor Lehane, Anthony Nash and Pa Cronin, and a tenth point of the game from Patrick Horgan gave Cork a one-point lead as injury time came to an end. A last-gasp point from corner-back Domhnall O'Donovan earned Clare a 0-25 to 3-16 draw and a replay on 28 September.[11]
On 3 April 2014 it was announced that White had been unfairly dropped from Cork's championship panel.[12]
