Nash nets crucial goal as CIT win replay

GOALKEEPER Anthony Nash adopted the role of gamekeeper-turned-poacher to provide the score that would eventually decide last night’s Evening Echo Cork SHC championship replay that resulted in a deserved victory for CIT over a lacklustre Avondhu side.

Leading from the opening minute, Avondhu were 0-6 to 0-4 ahead when CIT were awarded a 20-metre free after 20 minutes, when several attempts to clear eventually resulted in a foul on wing-forward Richie Butler.

Nash, who plays his club hurling with Kanturk, made the trek upfield to take the free and hammered the sliotar through the crowded goalmouth into the Avondhu net.
