THE
SEASON THAT WAS:
The
GAA season in NSW ended on Sunday 12th of September
with the NSW GAA Championship Finals in all three
codes. Unfortunately only the ladies team achieved
the required grade to appear on finals day in which
they displayed incredible tenacity and will to win.
They excelled in their favourites tag to win on a
score-line of 3-14 to 1-06 against Clan. Niamh Bonar
took Best and fairest award from the final.
The hurlers were beaten by the Shamrocks in their
enthralling semi final and the lads failed to get
past Young Irelands in an epic battle despite mighty
efforts from majority of hurling team playing their
second game of the day.
Again the positive the ladies had a fantastic year,
pipped in the coast competition our ladies went on
to remain unbeaten in the league and championship
battles which was a testament to them. First was a
great league triumph with an 8-10 to 1-06 victory,
followed by an equally great championship win, a remarkable
achievement for which they must be complemented. Our
hurlers won the Coast tournament with a battling final
performance. Our lads did win the pre-season comp
but just failed in league and championship semi finals.
In all a successful year, with each sets of competitions
held we had a victorious team. Friendships were formed,
outings were arranged, sessions were organised and
lots of team bonding happened!!!!!! Cusacks are now
building for an even better season next year with
more trophies to come no doubt. Cusacks Abu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
