Add in all the training sessions and discussions associated with each team and the impact of this voluntary activity is truly enormous. As the country faces into difficult economic times, it is heartening to see such endeavour complemented with characteristics like passion, spirit and hope. These qualities are not in short supply in Ireland and if we can harness them properly we will overcome our problems. The club itself was overcome with joy in 2010 with the marvellous four-in-a-row senior hurling titles – an achievement that places the club among the ranks of great clubs.

    2021 GAA MEDIA GUIDE Treoirleabhar na Meán 2021 @officialgaa 2021 GAA Media Guide - Teachtaireacht ón Uachtaráin Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur romhaibh go léir ar ais chuig ár gcluichí The last 14 months have come as a challenge to us all and while we have some distance to travel before we can once again look forward to big games with full stadiums, there are green shoots ahead of us. Who could have known in mid-March last year when we took the decision to shut our activities down, that the Covid challenge would still be front and centre as the summer of 2021 approaches? The best of the GAA shone as we grappled with profound changes to our lives and the supports provided by our club and county network to those who needed them most was both heartening and reassuring. Our games when they returned were a welcome tonic. The club championships and all of the activity that preceded them helped breathe life back into communities right across the GAA family. Similarly, in the darkest days of winter the inter-county games provided us with a focal point and a welcome distraction as we grew accustomed to supporting our players and teams from afar. In the coming weeks, the Allianz League games will come thick and fast and the interest and excitement will follow. We have shown flexibility in organising our competitions, most notably in football where again a straight knockout approach will apply. I would like to acknowledge the buy-in from everyone concerned in helping to make both last year and this season work, and I have no doubt that the entertainment value and profile of the games will be as high as ever.

  • Round Towers Lusk Secretary's Report for 2019 Introduction 2018
    Round Towers Lusk Secretary’s Report for 2019 Introduction 2018 was recorded as the most successful year on the playing field in the history of the club. It is truly remarkable that 2019 has matched and surpassed those achievements. We reached four adult championship finals and, extraordinarily, won all four. We also celebrated an U14 girls football championship. There is an extraordinary breadth and depth of activity within the club, both on and off the field, and we have volunteers filling challenging roles and putting in huge work to drive the club forward in the tradition that built the club. My first thought is always to thank those volunteers - past and present. Adult Games Our Ladies Gaelic footballers claimed the first adult championship of the year in Páirc Uí Thuathail on 28th August as they overcame Na Gaeil Óga on a score of 3.11 to 2.05. They completed a fantastic league and championship double as they later claimed the Division 7 league title, following up on their 2018 Division 8 success. Congratulations to the players and management team of Linda Grimes, John Kiely, Linda Neary and David Neary. Many thanks also to Ashley Down, Eimear Clarke and Nuala O’Neill who represented Ladies Gaelic Football on the Executive. As well as the U14 championship success, the inclusion of players from the club on under-age Dublin teams points to further future success. Intermediate championship winners and intermediate league runners-up in 2018, our senior football team approached 2019 with confidence but few people outside Lusk would have foreseen their incredible success.
