Bruff U17’s earned a hard fought victory overcoming a resilient Tralee team in Kilballyowen on Thursday night. With the weather gods smiling on Kilballyowen Bruff set about the match with their usual determination and were 5-0 up early on when Gavin Reidy crossed the white line. The conversion was missed and Bruff went on to cough up 3 try scoring chances in the first 15 minutes of the game. Tralee then settled into the game and gave Bruff plenty of problems particularly at the breakdown over the next 50 mins or so. Incredibly Reidy’s try proved to be the only score of the game as Bruff prevailed yet again. The defensive display was particularly impressive from the hosts. Our next game is thomond away on Sunday 13th.
Bruff U 17’s recorded a win and more pleasingly a solid performance when beating Ennis last weekend. First Half tries helped Bruff to a 35-7 half time lead, only one try in the second half meant the full time score was 42-7. Try scorers for Bruff were John Carew (2) Graham Whelan, Anthony Neelan, Cian Tierney and Hugh Lane. David O’Grady had 100% success with the boot managing a personal haul of 12 points, of which 2 in particular from near the touch line were “O’Gara like” according to sources. Well Done Lads
