Michael Cusacks camogie team played Craobh Padraig in the inaugural NSW GAA Camogie Championship Final at Auburn on Sunday 24th of September.
This was the first year that camogie was played in NSW and a large number of fans braved the hot and windy conditions to watch the 1.30pm game. Many of the Cusack girls had already played a hard game of football earlier in the day but they continued to play with the same passion and determination and Craobh Padraig were no match for the girls in red. Rosarie Holland was superb in midfield and she was ably assisted by Roisin Cooper. Captain Ruth Cahalan was totally reliable in goals and Laura Connolly could not be faulted in defence.
But the performance of the day was from star forward Marie Keating who gave an incredible exhibition of hard work, class and scoring ability with her 7 goals and 6 points in a game which Cusacks won easily by 9-9 to 1-9.
It was a proud day for manager Dee Stephenson and her team.
The team and substitutes on the day was:
Fionnuala Callanan, Laura Connolly, Lisa Doyle, Lisa Roper (Kiwi), Lorraine Whelehan, Marie Keating, Olivia McCreesh, Roisin Cooper, Rosarie Holland, Ruth Cahalan, Stefanie Kuhlee and Yvonne Rooney
