Fergal Bradshaw

Fergal Bradshaw is an Irish sportsman who played both Gaelic football and Australian rules football. In Gaelic football he was a clubman with Trinity Gaels and represented the Dublin county team at minor level in 1996. He later took up Australian rules in Ireland, turning out for the Dublin Demons and playing in the half-back line for the Ireland national Australian rules football team. That side won the 2002 Australian Football International Cup and the 2001 Atlantic Alliance Cup, two of the early tournaments that carried the Irish game onto an international stage. His career is a good example of the crossover between the two codes, which share a kicking and catching tradition and a pool of players in Ireland. The available record is short and gives no birth year or later honours, so this entry describes only what the source supports.
