🌟Round 7 of the league🌟
Today saw the penultimate round of fixtures before the semi-finals, resulting in mixed fortunes for our teams.
First up was our Men’s footballers who continued their winning run defeating Young Ireland GAA Sydney by three points. Our lads started the sharpest and opened up a lead early on. A Young Ireland’s converted penalty kept them in touching distance but Cusacks finished the half strongest to lead by four at the break. The second half was a closer affair, it was score for score and our lads held on for a three point win.
Cusacks 1-10
Young Ireland’s 1-7
Our Men’s B football team were given the points by Young Ireland’s who could not field a team.
The camogs were up next against Central Coast GAA Sydney. The girls battled hard the whole way through but Coast seemed to get their scores a bit easier and pulled away in the second half to claim the victory.
The ladies footballers were next to take to the pitch against Patrick Saint Phadraigh (Craobh Phadraig). They started strongly and kept the scoreboard ticking over to lead well at half time. They continued their scoring in the second half and were just too strong for Craobh Phadraig. The victory keeps their unbeaten record intact.
Last up was the turn of our hurlers to take on Central Coast GAA Sydney, with both teams already qualified for the semi-final it was a very entertaining game. It was an evenly matched first half with Coast leading narrowly at half time. Coast got the better start in the second half and even though Cusacks got some good scores they couldn't quite close the gap. Coast finished four-point winners on a scoreline of 1-19 to 1-15.
Congratulations to our Players of the games today.

On Saturday morning many of our club members joined thousands around Australia cities, and our towns and villages back in Ireland, to take part in Darkness Into Light Sydney
The sheer volume of people taking part shows the global fight in people wanting to break the stigma around mental health, suicide and self-harm and raise awareness on such issues.
It sparks conversation about the importance of mental health and wellbeing in all our lives.
Depression and other forms of mental health symptoms are not a choice, unfortunately a lot are affected on a daily basis, (1 in 4 people) but understanding your own mental health and what works and doesn't work for you is key.
