Career
[edit]Parfrey began his hurling career at club level with Blackrock. He played at a time when the club dominated hurling in Cork and won Cork Senior Championship titles in 1903 and 1908.
At inter-county level, Parfrey first played for the Cork senior hurling team on 20 March 1904 in what was the delayed 1902 championship. After missing Cork's Munster Championship triumph, he later won an All-Ireland Championship medal after scoring a goal in Cork's 3-13 to no score defeat of London at the Cork Athletic Grounds. Parfrey later won Munster Championship medals in 1903 and 1907. He played his last game for Cork on 25 October 1908.[citation needed]
Parfrey died at the age of 36 on 25 July 1918.[1]
