Now that the new penalty rule in hurling is in place, 1 on 1, goalkeeper v taker, here’s a look back at the last ever “Nash Penalty“, where the taker could lift the ball from the spot but strike it as close to the goal as they wished.
It was the Cork goalkeeper Anthony Nash himself who got the final go at it, in the 2014 Munster SHC Quarter-Final replay against Waterford, with Stephen O’Keeffe racing from his goal to stop the effort. The rule was subsequently changed the following week to disallow players striking the ball from past the line.
