AFL INTERNATIONAL CUP GRAND FINALS
Ireland v Canada today, in Etihad Stadium in the ladies final. ☘️☘️☘️
Honours are even between the two nations, after the Irish won the inaugural tournament in 2011 and Canada took the title in 2014.
From everyone at Michael Cusacks we want to wish the entire squad the best of luck today!
The Ireland team wished our own ladies good luck last week so fingers crossed its double celebrations for our 3 Cusacks ladies Niamh Hainsworth, Deb Geraghty and Marie Keating! #MC17 ⚪️🔴 #COYGIG
***NSW GAA Championship Final Update***
We have just had a moment to catch our breath in what was an epic weekend... As the saying goes 2 out of 3 ain't bad!! We are very proud of all our #Cusacks teams! ⚪️🔴
First of the day was unfortunately commiserations to our camogs. After a hard fought game the girls narrowly lost out by 2 points to Central Coast. The girls had a great season with many wins along the way and should hold their heads high.
Our hurlers took to the field next in what was an excellent display of hurling from both teams, points were traded back and fourth with us all on the edge of our seats. Thankfully our boys showed true grit, skill and determination to seal the victory and claim the title for 2017.
Our ladies footballers were the stars of the day as they lifted the NSW Championship for the first time in eleven years!! The girls have been knocking on the door the last number of years and have got pipped at the post in several recent finals. But they delivered on Sunday, with a mighty performance from all, including 7 duals who had already played camogie. What a game for all spectators, tight, tough and it went right down to the wire finishing all square at full time. After 10 mins of extra time each way the Cusacks girls came away with a couple of points which made the difference, showing their determination in the closing stages. Full time score 2.05 to 1.11. Congrats to all.

The long goodbyes continued....
ALL THE BEST DARRAGH & LAURA!
Before Christmas we said farewell to another Cusacks great, as he, and his better half Laura made the move back home.
Darragh, hailing from St. Breckans, Co. Clare (North Clare), joined Cusacks back in 2011, and has been hugely involved in the club over the last 5 years. Darragh played for our men’s football team who saw plenty of success in recent times- racking up 5 league titles to go with each year he was with Cusacks, along with two NSW championships. Darragh won many NSW player of the games showing just how passionate he was on the field, and also won player of the tournament in our own All Sydney GAA Tournament in 2015.
