Cork City appoint Gerard Nash as new manager
CORK CITY HAVE confirmed the appointment of Gerard Nash as their new manager.
The 38-year-old arrives less than a week after Tim Clancy handed in his resignation following a 2-1 defeat to Derry City last Friday that left the Turner's Cross club in the promotion/relegation playoff place.
Nash is Cork's fifth permanent boss since 2019, following the tenures of John Caulfield, Neale Fenn, Colin Healy and Clancy.

'I am absolutely thrilled to be appointed as the new Men's First Team Manager at Cork City FC. Everyone in Ireland knows the history that the club has, its fantastic support base, and the potential within the existing players. I have watched a lot of the league this season from afar, and I have no doubt that there is so much more we can deliver,' Nash, who has left his position as assistant manager at Swedish club GAIS, said.

'Everyone in the league knows that Cork City are one of the biggest clubs in the country and Turner's Cross is a great place to watch a game of football. I know we have quality in the dressing room, and I cannot wait to get started.'
A former underage coach with Ipswich Town, Nash then worked as a FAI development officer and high performance coach, before leaving to take charge of Aston Villa's Under-18s and then onto Sweden.
Cork City owner Dermot Usher said: 'I am very pleased to welcome Ger to the club. He has a long and very impressive track record as a coach, and he really impressed us with his thoughts on taking on the role.
'From speaking to him, I know how motivated he is to take on the job, and I know he will give it everything he has. Everyone at the club wants to see us improve and begin to climb the table, and I share Ger's belief that we have the talent in our dressing room to improve.'
Nash won't be in the dugout for Cork's game away to St Patrick's Athletic tomorrow, with academy boss Liam Kearney joined by Greg Yelverton until Nash takes charge for the Galway United clash next Friday.

Cork defeat Clare by nine parts after a strong second half performance
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship: Cork 0-21 Clare 1-9 Cork's winning streak in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship continued in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday. A nine-point winning margin was achieved after a strong second-half performance. The victory for Ger Manley's outfit means they head into the final round of fixtures next Saturday against winless Wexford top of Group 1 and in the perfect position to take a semi-final spot. Indication of their squad depth was also highlighted by the unavailability of Hannah Looney and Aoife Healy due to football commitments. However, the hosts didn't get matters entirely their own way having led by three points at the break. Bear in mind too when these teams met in the Munster championship in April Clare lost 2-22 to 0-10. It was evident from the outset the Banner women were up for the challenge and John Carmody's youthful side were competitive. Factor in also, two one-on-one goal opportunities in second-half stoppage time from Róisín Begley and Áine O'Loughlin that were bravely saved by Cork 'keeper Amy Lee. But for now, the visitors will travel home having secured a championship knockout place in Croke Park and that has to be the first box ticked. Their game against Tipperary next weekend will determine whether they finish second or third. They got a tonic start with a green flag inside the opening minute from Jennifer Daly who soloed through from out the field and applied the finishing touches after a mere 45 seconds. The only goal of the day was immediately followed by a Caoimhe Cahill point from play and they were up-and-running. Orlaith Cahalane settled Cork with a fifth minute white flag and they would shoot the next three unanswered points from play. A goal opportunity too came their way but couldn't be taken advantage of. Impressive wing-forward Jennifer Daly raced through for Clare's second point to leave just one between the sides approaching the quarter hour mark, 1-2 to 0-4. Industrious centre-forward Saoirse McCarthy (free) Emma Murphy and Kate Wall stretched the lead. Róisín Begley won a free close to the posts for Aisling Cooney to convert - it remained a single point match with 10 minutes to go to the interval. Sorcha McCartan and Murphy points sent Cork to the dressing-room 0-9 to 1-3 ahead. The defending All-Ireland champions were a different proposition in the second half and reeled off a trio of points from Murphy, McCartan and Amy O'Connor (free) to extend their advantage. Seven-in-a-row points while limiting Clare to a pair of converted frees arrived in a productive 20-minute spell - a Clare team that had emptied the tank in the opening half. Emerging with 10 different scorers, Cork pulled 0-20 to 1-5 clear by the 50th minute despite striking 13 wides to Clare's three overall. Clare did outhit them four-one in the final 10 minutes plus three minutes of stoppage. And had those two late goals been converted the deficit would have been less again. Scorers for Cork: S McCarthy (0-5, 0-1 free), E Murphy and O Cahalane (0-3 each), K Wall, A O'Connor (frees) and S McCartan (0-2 each), L Hayes, A Thompson, K Mackey and C Finn (0-1 each). Scorers for Clare: J Daly (1-1), A Cooney (0-3 frees), Z A Spillane (45s) and C Cahill (0-2) each, N Mulqueen (0-1). CORK: A Lee; M Cahalane (Capt), L Coppinger, P Mackey; R Harty, L Treacy, L Hayes; K Wall, A Thompson; E Murphy, S McCarty, S McCartan; C Finn, K Mackey, O Cahalane. Subs: A O'Connor for C Finn, A O'Neill for R Harty (both half-time), C O'Sullivan for L Coppinger (43). CLARE: D Murphy; S Daly, C Hehir, S O'Keeffe; L Daly, A Walsh, C Queally; N Mulqueen, C Carmody; C Cahill, G Carmody, J Daly; R Begley, A Cooney, A Anderson. Subs: Z Y Spillane for A Anderson (25), D Griffin for C Queally (40), Á O'Loughlin (Capt) for A Cooney (46), C Grogan for G Carmody (50), E Casey for C Carmody (53). Referee: L Dempsey ( Kilkenny).

Dublin v Limerick LIVE coverage of All-Ireland SHC quarter-final from Croke Park
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Dublin v Limerick in the All-Ireland senior hurling championship quarter-final at Croke Park, which is the opening game of a double-header at GAA HQ - with the SFC preliminary quarter-final between Dublin and Cork to follow. Niall O'Ceallachain's Dubs go into this last eight tie on the back of a victory - last Saturday's preliminary quarter-final demolition of Kildare - but that will count for very little going into the battle with the country's best team of the last eight years. Limerick will be out for a statement performance on the back of the heartbreaking loss on penalties to Cork in the Munster final, after an impressive campaign in the provincial championship. Dublin, on the other hand, looked the part in their win over Wexford in Leinster, and with their second half comeback against Kilkenny in Leinster, but they looked well off the pace in the first half against the Cats and then against Galway, a defeat that cost them a place in the provincial final. As expected, they made short shrift of the Lilywhites last weekend, who were barely over their Joe McDonagh Cup celebrations, and O'Ceallachain will know that his side will have to go up several levels in terms of performance to live with Limerick. Treaty boss John Kiely will look for the right reaction from his players after their Munster disappointment but if Dublin can stay with Limerick, they could sew some seeds of doubt heading down the stretch. Throw in is at 4pm at Croker. There may be changes before the throw-in but here are the teams as announced late in the have two changes from the Kildare game, with Andy Dunphy in for Paddy Dunleavy at wing-back and Conor Burke return for full-forward targetman John Hetherton; Limerick are unchanged. LIMERICK: Nickie Quaid; Sean Finn, Dan Morrissey, Mike Casey; Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes, Barry Nash; Adam English, William O'Donoghue; Gearoid Hegarty, Cian Lynch, Tom Morrissey; Aaron Gillane, Aidan O'Connor, David Reidy. Subs: Shane Dowling, Peter Casey, Colin Coughlan, Seamus Flanagan, Declan Hannon, Barry Murphy, Fergal O'Connor, Donnacha O Dalaigh, Darragh O'Donovan, Paddy O'Donovan, Cathal O'Neill. DUBLIN: Sean Brennan; John Bellew, Paddy Smyth, Conor McHugh; Paddy Doyle, Chris Crummey, Andrew Dunphy; Conor Burke, Brian Hayes; Rian McBride, Fergal Whitely, Cian O'Sullivan; Sean Currie, Ronan Hayes, Diarmaid O Dulaing. Subs: Eddie Gibbons, Donal Burke, Colin Currie, Paddy Dunleavy, Daire Gray, John Hetherton, Andrew Jamieson Murphy, David Lucey, James Madden, Paul O'Dea, Darragh Power.
