Early life

Anthony Nash was born in Kanturk, County Cork in 1985. He was educated locally and is currently studying on business studies at the Cork Institute of Technology.

Playing career

Club

Nash plays hurling with his local club Kanturk, who play in the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship. He also plays with the Cork Institute of Technology team in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship. Nash is the goalkeeper on both teams.

Inter-county

Nash first came to prominence as a hurling goalkeeper on the inter-county scene in 2004. That year Cork won a Munster title at intermediate level, before going on to win the All-Ireland title. The following year Nash joined the Cork under-21 hurling team, later going on to win a provincial medal following a victory over Tipperary. In 2006 Nash was between the posts again when Cork captured another set of Munster and All-Ireland honours at intermediate level.

As a result of the suspension of Donal Óg Cusack, Nash made his senior debut in the Munster SHC semi-final against Waterford on June 17, 2007. He had a tough game, leaving in five goals, however, the absence of Diarmuid O'Sullivan and Seán Óg Ó hAilpín depleted the Cork back lines even further.
