Crowley: Nash was ‘fed up’ of furore

Cork selector Johnny Crowley has revealed how goalkeeper Anthony Nash was affected by the furore surrounding his controversial technique when taking 20 metre frees and penalties.

A motion that became known as the ‘Nash Rule’ was withdrawn from the Clár at the Annual Congress but the matter will be discussed at a Central Council meeting on March 22.

Cork came out strongly in support of their player before the Association’s annual think-tank as chairman Bob Ryan successfully campaigned for the motion to be taken off the agenda.
