Nash 'a real leader' for Cork

He had particularly big shoes to fill when he took over from Cork's long-time custodian Donal Óg Cusack last season, but there is no denying that Anthony Nash is now very much at home in the Rebels' number 1 jersey.

Such was Nash's influence during Cork's All-Ireland SHC semi-final win over Dublin last Sunday that some have put him in the running for the Hurler of the Year honour.
