Paul Cusack comes from a rugby family with himself, brother Sean and dad John having worn the distinctive black and yellow colour of Cockermouth Rugby Club. He recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “As well as being a full back for the club my dad was also a mini Coach and as a ten year old I would venture along to the club with him, naturally becoming involved. My career took me all over the North of England with clubs like Gosforth in my early 20s years before moving on to Orrell and Aspatria and coming full circle back to Cockermouth. Myself and Sean both played in the 1996–97 Rugby Union County Championship for Cumbria beating Somerset 21-13. The current squad have the great advantage of working across two spectrums of players, young and older, with the likes of Adam Brough, Stef Highton, Sam Wilson and Paul Greening balancing out the speed and energy of the younger players. Growing our own talent has always been a strength at Cockermouth Rugby Club with many generations of dads and sons still involved. Cockermouth Travel have had the privilege of sponsoring this great family club in many different ways over the past forty years and watching it operate in such safe hands today. The club have not only a great mix on the committee but very able coaching staff across all age groups and all whilst having a lot of fun and friendship.
