Nash first came to prominence as a hurling goalkeeper 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 had 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 levels.
