U16 North Munster Champions
A fantastic weekend for our underage Rugby as both our 16s and 18s won their respective North Munster Leagues Finals. Both games played in very poor conditions saw Bruff overcome 1st half deficits to go on and claim the titles. 1st up were our 16s playing Shannon in Rosbrien, trailing 5-0 at half time, 2 second half tries, a conversion and penalty saw them win out 15-5. Tom Quigley captained the side. Later in the day in Coonagh the 18s overturned a 10-3 half time score to record a 12-10 win against a very courageous Old Munster side. Both sides now go on to contest Pan Munster.
