The J2 game in the Gleeson league is postponed until Sat. 19th. J1 game is moved up from Sunday to Saturday 12th at 4:00 pm.
The thirds were beaten 35-12 by Thomand in the final of the McInerney Cup on Saturday in Annocothy. Bruff went in as underdogs facing a Thomand team yet to be beaten this season in 9 outings.
Four first half penalties by Mark O’Connell kept Bruff in touch and they trailed by just three points, 15-12, at the break. A Glen O’Callaghan try for Thomond set the pattern of the game with further tries credited to Anthony Hartery, Christian Meehan, Pat Deedigan and a terrific try at the death from former Bruff player Jonathon Forde ensuring that Thomand came out victorious.
This was Bruff’s forth final in a row having won the competition on the previous two attempts. Only 5 of last year’s panel started the game this weekend. From lasts years team 4 have retired, 7 have moved on to the senior squad, 2 have emigrated and 3 were out injured.

The 3rds recovered from a 6-16 deficit midway through the second half to finish 17-16 winners in a thriller in Kilballyowen. A try by JP Baggott and three penalties and a conversion by Kevin McEvoy for Garryowen put them in a winning position but Bruff replied in the final quarter with a Mark O’Connell try. Owen Quinn was the hero, kicking the winning penalty in injury time to add to his three earlier penalties.
