It has been a pretty impressive 4-Wall season for Diarmaid Nash & Catriona Casey, and on Saturday they were presented with their 2018/19 Irish 4-Wall #1 Ranked Player awards.
In five outings this year, Nash reached the final of every event he entered, winning twice, and narrowly holding off Robbie McCarthy to the top spot by a mere 5 points. Although not included in the Rankings, Nash then retained his All-Ireland 4-Wall Doubles title just last weekend with partner Colin Crehan.
