Ger Cushe (born 3 March 1967) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. At club level, he played with Naomh Éanna and at inter-county level was a member of the Wexford senior hurling team.
Playing career
[edit]Cushe first played hurling to a high standard at club level with Naomh Éanna in Gorey. He captained the club to the Wexford IHC title in 1990 following a defeat of Shelmaliers in the final. Cushe claimed a second IHC medal in 2001 when Rathgarogue-Cushinstown were beaten by 1-14 to 3-07.[2]
At inter-county level, Cushe first appeared for Wexford as a member of the minor team. He won a Leinster MHC medal before defeat by Cork in the 1985 All-Ireland minor final.[3] Cushe later progressed to the under-21 team and won consecutive Leinster U21HC medals, as well as losing the 1985 All-Ireland under-21 final to Galway.[4]
Cushe made his senior team debut in a National Hurling League game against Limerick in October 1990.[5] He won a Leinster SHC medal in 1996, before playing at full-back when Wexford beat Limerick in the 1996 All-Ireland final.[6] Cushe won a second consecutive Leinster SHC medal in 1997. He retired from inter-county hurling in 1999.[7][8]
Coaching career
[edit]Cushe had just retired from playing when he joined Tony Dempsey's Wexford senior hurling management team as a selector.[9] His two-year tenure in this role saw little in terms of success and he resigned from the role in July 2002.[10] Cushe returned to the inter-county scene when he again became a selector with the Wexford senior team in September 2013.[11]
