Sadly we recently said goodbye to one of our longest serving members, Bryan Forde, who has been a part of our club for 14 years!
We asked him a few questions on how he decided to join Cusacks and his time with the club:
Home club?
Club: Kiladangan GAA, Tipperary
When did you arrive in Australia?
Left Ireland on 28th October 2004 for a 6 month break before starting a “real” job. Flew out with Eamonn Ryan (muck), the 3rd time we ever met was the airport. 14 years later and in a few weeks I’ll start looking for that real job.
How did you come to join Cusacks?
We knew we were joining Cusacks before we left. The great Paul Shanahan from mucks club was already hurling with Cusacks and I’m sure Eddie Maloney knew Eamonn was coming too. Pretty sure they had never heard of me.
Any involvement with the club off the pitch?
Only ever went to one club meeting but that was a disciplinary one. The boys from west Limerick will know what I’m talking about. The committee side was not for me but we all know and appreciate the work they do and without them there is no club. I had many other roles in the club player, coach, manager, water boy, selector and social coordinator for the odd piss up. Although there was none better than Tomas Mcaulliffe at this.
You can’t do all the above without a few greats showing you the ropes and helping along the way Eddie Maloney, Franky Stapleton (absolute lunatic), Ozzie O’Brien and Donie Collins.
