Munster final fixed for Sunday

The u18s are in action on Sunday when they take on Newcastle West/Estuary for the crown of Munster champions. Bruff came through the group stages with victories over Clonmel, Bantry Bay & Shannon but lost away to Waterpark by 14points to 10. Bruff had a comprehensive win over Highfield in the Qrt finals and again crossed paths with Waterpark in the Semi. This time Bruff came out on the good side of a hard fought 10-8 home win over the visitors.

Bruff have met NCW two times already this season. In the North Munster league group stages NCW took the spoils but it was to be Bruff who were crowned North Munster league champions when the teams met in the league final in January on a score-line of 18-17.

This game is bound to be a thriller and all supporters are asked to turn out in big number to cheer on this great bunch of young men.

The game has a 12 O Clock KO on Sunday and will be played on the main pitch in Thomond park. Enter via West stand
