All roads from Bruff and surrounding areas lead to Templeville Road,home of St. Marys RFC  in Dublin on Saturday 9th April as Bruff RFC  contest the Bateman Cup for the first time in our short history against one of the giants of Irish Rugby, Dungannon RFC.

The game  will kick off at 2pm  and an epic contest will begin. During the season  Bruff and Dungannon have played each other twice in the league and each team won their home game. Bruff RFC defeated UCD in the semi final of the All Ireland Cup and Dungannon defeated Corinthians in the other semi final.

There is no doubt that this final is evenly balanced and it will be decided on a lucky bounce of the ball or a special bit of skill from a player to win the game.

One guarantee from both teams  is that commitment,passion and skill will be in abundance on the day.

We wish our captain Cathal and his team plus our coaches Eoin and Peter, manager Michael all the best as they attempt to make history on Saturday.

We are organising buses for our supporters and details are on this site elsewhere, no doubt as usual our loyal and committed supporters will travel in vast numbers to cheer on the lads.

 

See ye there!!
