Nash stands defiant as Cork campaign off to flying start

Allianz HL Division 1A

Cork debuted five players against the league champions, leaked a soft goal in first-half injury time and faced a penalty just after the break which could have put Clare ahead.

The home side finished seven points to the good, however. Their debutants survived, and even thrived, even if the team leaned heavily on goalkeeper Anthony Nash’s excellence from restarts and general play.
