Another Cusacks wedding!
Congrats to Nadine and Brendan on your wedding day last month 🎊🎉
Today is World Mental Health Day - a great opportunity for us to check in on our friends, family and colleagues, but is also a good reminder for us to seek help when we need it.
Regardless of our ability to cope with work and family commitments, life can be tough and there are times when it can be really helpful to talk to a completely independent person or someone that you trust.
1 in 4 people are affected by mental illness at any one time, and many of these not seeking help.
Let’s all take a moment to ask ourselves “are we OK?” and ask others “are you OK?”
#MChealthandwellbeingWe all carry a bag full of life experiences - but for 1 in 4 that bag feels a little heavier.
1 in 4 will experience poor mental health at some point in their lives. Find support on #WorldMentalHealthDay and remember that even the smallest step is a step forward.

🔵⚪️ State Games Update - Day 3 🔵⚪️
Today was the first day all our codes were in action. Our Ladies football team had their final round game, our Hurlers had their play off game, our Camogs contested the final and our men’s football game had their warm up game games.
The ladies footballers were the first team in action against Victoria knowing only a win or draw would be enough for them to make the final. The first half was all one way traffic from Victoria as they had a strong wind at their backs. The girls completely turned the game around in the second half and with the wind in their favour they soon started picking off the scores. With normal time up and NSW a point down we were awarded a penalty which was popped over the bar. A draw of 3.06 apiece was enough for our girls and they contest tomorrow’s final against Western Australia.
Next up were our Hurlers up against Western Australia with a place in the final up for grabs for the winner. Yet again the wind played a vital role in the game. The lads went in at half time 3 goals down. They came out in the second half like a team determined to prove themselves. The lads really stepped up the intensity and the scores followed. Unfortunately the clock was against them and they fell short by a point on a scoreline of 3.12 to 3.11.
Our Camogs took centre stage as they contested the final against Victoria. Right from the first clash of ash our girls never looked back. The backs were absolutely unreal with Victoria struggling to make any inroads towards our goal. The midfield were on top for the entire game with some of the finest fielding on show. Victoria tried their upmost to thwart the scoring threat of our forwards however our girls still managed to find space and were clinical in their finishing. The camogs travelled with the smallest group of players of any of our codes and credit must go to them and their management in the manner in which they took home the trophy for a third year in a row. The girls ran out convincing winners on a scoreline of 2.12 to 0.06.
In the final game of the day our men’s footballers had their first taste of action at this years games. They faced Victoria in a warmup to tomorrow’s final. Victoria started the livelier of the two and soon were a couple of points up. Our lads soon settled into the game and the comeback started. In what was a low scoring game our lads ran out winners by a single point. Both teams face each other again in tomorrow’s final where today’s game will be long forgotten.
Tomorrow we have two teams in the finals with our Men facing Victoria at 10am and our Ladies facing Western Australia at 12 noon.
