Bruff Rugby Football Club

Well Anything the All Blacks can do Bruff U 14’s can do better as they put on a sensational second half show to turn this highly entertaining u 14 league tie around. Played in poor conditions that you can only expect in late October, Bruff trailed 5-0 at half time after Young Munsters centre scored a good try going over in the  right hand corner. They were very unfortunate to miss the resulting conversion. Bruff sustained 2 injuries in the 1st half forcing 2 changes in the backs, which disrupted their game but thankfully neither injury was serious.  JD and Jerome gave a rousing half time talk and Bruff came out all guns firing for the second half and were rewarded for consistent pressure when wing forward Gareth Cooke scored under the posts, Matthew O ‘Dea slotted the resulting conversion and Bruff lead 7-5. Straight from the kickoff again Bruff charged for the Young musters line and after 5 mins of consistent pressure centre Tom Breen broke through 3 tackles to score, the conversion was missed but Bruff had a lead of 12-5 with  10 mins to go….Odhran Ring and Stephen Dunworth were introduced and they lead another charge which saw Young Munsters penalised for a breakdown infringement in front of their posts and Matt O’Dea coolly slotted the penalty to leave the score 15-5 in Bruff’s favour.  A magnificent effort all round and leaves Bruff with 2 wins from their first 3 games of the season. Well done to all

Our U17’s notched up another significant win at the weekend beating Young Munsters on a scoreline of 29-0. Try scorers on the day were Eamon Costello (2) Tom O Dwyer ,Shane Doona, Graham Whelan scoring one each and David O Grady adding 2 conversions. Well done to all concerned…….
