Looks like the Munster Branch is really on top of things already this season, with the courses on the New ELV’s already in place, now the fixtures for the Gleeson League, McInerny Cup and a few other Munster J1 and J2 leagues and cups have been finalised, we should have them up on the website by the weekend all going well. Just log on to www.bruffrfc.com later on in the week and the link should be there.

Next club meeting is on Monday night next, 21st July at 8:00 p.m. It is important that all club committee members attend to finalise arrangements for the Bull N’ Booze Tag Rugby festival on the following Saturday. Patrons should also note that we will be running a shuttle bus to and from Clancy’s in Bruff and the Club to facilitate transfer during the evening and also after the festivities. This Bus comes courtesy of Jack Clancy in Bruff and many thanks for that.

There is also a celebration night for George Clancy’s elevation to Elite Referees Status taking place on the Friday night (25th) taking place in Clancy’s pub Courtesy of Heineken and Jack so we’re kicking off proceedings there. Anyway have a good week and we hope to see you all in the club for the Biggest festival yet.

The 2nd xv’s season is over after the North Munster Seconds League was prematurely terminated.Pat Dunne,Martin Gennery and captain Marcus Mulvihill and vice captain Barry Laffin would like to thank all the players for honest endevours during  the season.They maintained their Seconds League Division One status and reached the Q-Final of the Munster Junior Plate.Thanks also to Sinead Mc Carthy who was their physio and not forgetting the supporters and the Ladies committee for providing food after the home games.Not forgetting Mary Paul Cooke for looking after the liquid refreshments and listening to the woes of the ” coaches ”.!!
