Danny Cummins, the Galway footballer living in Australia: ‘I’m delighted to be nowhere near it’

Lining out for Randwick’s Young Irelands in one of the handful of countries where GAA games can be played and living without severe restrictions suits him just fine

Danny Cummins: ‘I’m trying to play a small bit of hurling as well. You head out to Ingleburn and you’ve a scatter of teams there. It’s a cool Irish community and afterwards you have a few beers. It’s a very enjoyable way of going about it.’ Picture: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile

Greetings from Randwick, Sydney, where Danny Cummins remains 12 months after he and his girlfriend Karen Kennedy chose not to take one of the repatriation flights home to Ireland.

The Galway players had planned to return last September, with Cummins hoping to convince Pádraic Joyce of his worth of inclusion for the 2021 campaign.
