CO-MAJOR PARTNER Welcome

A Chairde,

It is an honour for me, on behalf of the Gaelic Football and Hurling Association of Australasia, to welcome you to the Michael Cusacks’ All Sydney GAA Championship.

The “All Sydney” is fast becoming one of the key dates in the NSW Gaelic Games calendar, as it kick starts the playing season for coaches and players alike, and really sets the tone for the rest of the season in Sydney. I am sure that today’s games, across all codes, will be highly competitive as the teams and clubs involved are keen to seize the ﬁrst oﬃcial silverware of 2015.

I would also like to congratulate NSW ladies footballers Ciara Breen (Michael Cusacks) and Noreen Sullivan (Cormac McAnallens) who will both play for Australasia at the GAA World Games in UAE next month, in addition to Kieran Olwell (NSW President and former Michael Cusacks’ Chairman) who is the team coach and manager. It is a fantastic achievement to be selected to represent your adopted country in Gaelic Games on an international stage.

Following on from a hugely successful Australasian Championships in 2014, plans are already afoot for Wellington this October, as New Zealand play hosts to the games for the ﬁrst time in a number of years. We trust there will be a strong contingent of players from NSW across all codes making the trip across the Tasman, with the NSW ladies footballers vying for that all-important “4-in-a-row”.

Finally, as we kick oﬀ another new season in Sydney I wish to pay tribute to all those who give freely of their time and expertise in running your teams, clubs and the NSW GAA Association as a whole – your commitment to the development and promotion of our games does not go unnoticed.

Gerard Roe Secretary, Gaelic Football and Hurling Association of Australasia (GFHAA)

A Chairde,

As chairman of Michael Cusacks Gac I'd like to welcome everyone to the 2nd All Sydney GAA Championship. After a few false starts the competition got oﬀ the ground last year and the day was a huge success.

With the inﬂux of new members joining Sydney GAA clubs showing no signs of slowing, this competition gives codes a welcome opportunity to get in some match practice before the upcoming season.

Last years tournament saw many high quality encounters across all codes with Cormac McAnallens and Central Coast coming out on top taking two trophies home each.

The Michael Cusack’s Club look forward to welcoming all clubs, spectators and sponsors out today and hope that everyone has an enjoyable and successful day.

Daniel Ward Chairman, Michael Cusack’s GAA Sydney “I call for the Irish people to take the management of their games into their own hands, to encourage and promote every form of athletics which is peculiarly Irish.”
