Aisake Ó hAilpín

Aisake Faga Ó hAilpín, born on 24 August 1985, is a Fijian-Irish sportsman who grew up in Cork and has played hurling, Gaelic football and Australian rules football. At club level in Ireland he played both Gaelic codes for Na Piarsaigh on the north side of Cork city, and in 2004 he finished as top scorer with five points in the county senior hurling final win over Cloyne, which remains his only county championship winners' medal. He then moved to Melbourne and joined the Carlton Football Club, where he spent several seasons on the rookie list and in the reserves and was elevated to the senior list for 2008, but he never played a senior AFL game and was delisted at the end of that season. Back in Ireland in 2009 he spent a year with the Cork senior hurling panel and was man of the match in a first-round championship win over Tipperary. He returned to Melbourne in 2011 and has since played suburban and country Australian rules football, including with Albury alongside his brother Setanta.
