We are Central Coast Hurling team in Sydney Australia.
We are currently in the early stages of organizing a charity hurling game between ourselves and H.W.H Bunclody on the 29th of December 2012 in Bunclody.
The money raised will be donated to cancer research; I’m currently in talks with which charity but will keep you updated in the near future.
Hopefully we can get the support of you the county board and the county in whole as the current team is consisting of no less than 13 Wexford men. We also have a couple of surprise players going to make an appearance on the day.
Thanks for your time in reading this and I will keep you updated in the coming months.

Information on Central Coast Hurling & Football Club:
| Central Coast Gaelic Football & Hurling Club |
| The Central Coast GAA Club is an affiliated Club of the “Central Coast Irish Association”, which was founded in August 1980. The Central Coast is approximately one & a half hour’s drive north from Sydney and one of the most popular holiday destinations in NSW. While the clubs roots lie in this area the majority of their members and players are based and play in Sydney. The GAA club boasts a long tradition of great hurling and ladies football teams, and has enjoyed a long list of honours in NSW GAA competition.In the year of 1983 the hurling club became alive thanks to the efforts of Peter Murphy, Jack & Tom Mahony, John Walsh & Mossie Doody. It was to be the beginning of the most successful hurling club in NSW history, beginning with its first League Title in 1985 against Penrith Gaels. Continuing the winning tradition with league titles 2004, 2005 and numerous state honours.
The Ladies team was founded in 1990. The Coast’s first title came in 1993 when they captured the league but they had to wait until 1999 for their second league title repeated again in 2000, competed in the Championship Final in 2001 as well as Runners-Up League 2005. The ladies lost by a few points in 2004 in the Summer Competition 10-aside final. The club organises many formal and informal get togethers throughout the year, each one always producing antics and memories, although some would rather forget. As the year progresses the lads and the girls take to the bonding in a different way, which makes for some interesting combinations. If you check out the website the club is well known for the craic and the pictures tell you what a fun social club we are. Many Coast players have represented NSW and Australasia in the respective tournaments. The Coast has a strong tradition of being part of the NSW state team in both ladies and hurling. |
