NEWMARKET CELTIC duo Shane Cusack and Harvey Cullinan have received international call-ups.
Cusack and Cullinan will be part of the Irish amateur international side who face the Defence Forces on December 3rd with a time and venue to be announced for the fixture.
While both have experience of playing in England, this will be their first outing with the amateur international side. The duo played integral roles in Newmarket Celtic becoming the first club from Clare to win the FAI Junior Cup in 2023.
A four-time Clare Cup winner, Cusack is one of the greatest junior goalkeepers in the country. The thirty three year old has lined out between the posts for Colchester Utd, Limerick FC, Athlone Town Utd and Treaty Utd and has been a rock since returning to his native club.
Formerly part of the Sheffield Utd U19 and U23 side, Cullinan is the steady presence at centre-half on the Newmarket Celtic side. The twenty two year old has won one Premier Division title and one Clare Cup along with a Munster Champions Trophy and FAI Junior Cup since returning to the Newmarket-on-Fergus club in 2022.
