Declan Nash (born 10 July 1966) is an Irish hurling selector and former player. At club level, he played with South Liberties and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Nash played hurling at all grades as a student at Limerick CBS. He was part of the school's senior team that lost to St Finbarr's College in the final of the Dr Harty Cup in 1984.[1] At club level, Nash played hurling and Gaelic football with South Liberties. He won consecutive Limerick U21FC titles in 1985 and 1986.[2][3]

At inter-county level, Nash first played for Limerick as part of the minor team that beat Kilkenny to win the All-Ireland MHC title in 1984.[4] He progressed to the under-21 team and won consecutive Munster U21HC titles, before claiming an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a 2-15 to 3-06 win over Galway in the 1987 final.[5]

Nash joined the senior team during the 1987–88 National League. It was in that competition that he collected his first silverware when Limerick claimed the league title in 1992.[6] Nash won Munster SHC medals in 1994 and 1996, however, Limerick faced subsequent All-Ireland final defeats by Offaly and Wexford respectively.[7][8] He added a second National League medal to his collection in 1997.[9]

Performances at inter-county level for Limerick resulted in Nash being called up to the Munster inter-provincial team. He won consecutive Railway Cup medals in 1995 and 1996.[10]

Management career

[edit | edit source]

Nash served as a selector during Pad Joe Whelehan's term as manager of the Limerick senior hurling team.[11] His tenure as part of the management team saw him resign twice from the role in the space of a few months.[12][13]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

His brother, Mike Nash, played alongside him during Limerick's Munster SHC successes in 1994 and 1996.[14] His nephew, Anthony Nash, lined out in goal with the Cork senior hurling team and won four Munster SHC medals.[15]
