The seconds bowed out of the Junior Cup on Sunday after a 13-11 defeat away to Tralee.  Bruff had the better of the first half and went into an Early lead from a Richie McAuliffe Penalty.

Bruff enjoyed a lot of territory in the opening 20 mins and were rewarded with a Try from Barry Enright.  Tralee had a scrum on there own line but spilt the ball on. Enright was quickest to react and touched down for the 5 pointer. Tralee kicked a Pen before the end of the opening 40 to leave it 8-3 to Bruff at the Break.

Bruff again applied the pressure early in the Second half and were awarded a Penalty which McAuliffe slotted to make it 11-3.  This however was when Bruffs luck ran out.

With 20 mins remaining Tralee were awarded a penalty try for Bruff collaping a maul. Outhalf Dan Clarke converted. Tralee kicked a further Penalty with 3 minutes remaining which proved to be the winning score.
