Well, If you think you can make the grade, here’s what you have to do to qualify. Pull a 5690 lb  Land Cruiser up the hill by the clubhouse. (plus obligatory redhead babe driver to steer)

Looks like a fun way to get ready to watch the Lions V S.A. game.

Or how about this? Drag 60kgs 60 metres across the front of the clubhouse.

Try timing yourself dragging a 60 Kilo wight for 60 meters.

Or how about the “Farmers Walk” seeing how far you can carry two 50KG weights in two minutes. (equivalent to two 8 stone bags of cement).

Just a sample of what the lads do for fun on an average Saturday morning before they go to watch the Lions game. 🙂

Of course, while they were doing this, the development committee were busy putting 21 cubic metres of concrete in the bases for the floodlights on the front pitch and cutting down a few trees to allow the light to get to the corners of the pitch.

Off Season my Arse…..

A great night, here are some pictures given to me by Gráinne from last Thursday nights event.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a sincere thanks to Gráinne and David O’ Keeffe for all of the great work done in organising the Twilight Tag League not only for the last two months but for at least two months before this. Without all of the great work done by them, the event never would have taken place.

Also we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you especially for your support this season, it made it the best season to date and we hope to expand things even further next year.

Sorry for the delay in posting the pictures but here they are.

Rugby Photos: U13 North Munster Cup Final Photos

As promised, here are some of the photos from last nights U13 cup Final between Bruff and Garryowen.

On the rugby front last evening saw the U13 squad complete a triple with their winning of the U13 North Munster Cup. After taking care of Young Munster courtesy of a 16 – 0 scoreline on Friday night last, Monday saw them pitted against Garryowen again in Kilballyowen. After a fabulously tight game with no scoring until the last fifteen minutes, we all felt that whoever scored first would probably come away with the cup. Garryowen kicked a penalty with less than eighteen minutes left on the clock but Fair play to Bruff they dug in their heels and displaying a courage that belied their tender years Ground away at the Garryowen defence until finally with less than two minutes left on the clock Graham Whelan broke away from a ruck with a lovely looping break to the outside left and ran in from thirty meters. Defence then became the order of the day and Bruff had to stiffen their ranks to grind out the last five minutes before erupting with joy on the final whistle from referee Noel Sexton. Final score: Bruff 5 – Garryowen 3. Well done to Captain Kevin Hosford and his squad and to all concerned including mentors and parents and especially to coaches Tommy O’ Dwyer, Liam Doherty , Sean McKenna & Ger Mac who have put in some tremendous work with this great squad of lads. This completed a triple of League, Cup and last week’s Tralee international competition for the season for this team.

Also on Monday, four Bruff lads helped Charleville CBS take home the Munster U15 Cup again in Kilballyowen. Three of the four Bruff players scored all of Charleville’s 26 points in their 26 – 12 win over De Villiers. Two tries from No. 7 Gary Boyce, another from Darren Sheehy in the centre and the Charleville No. 10 David Reidy kicked three penalties and a conversion to bring it home for their school. The fourth Bruffian, Conor Barry, son of famed former Bruff player Dónal from Kilmallock was also instrumental in this victory although the four lads must have been having flashbacks to earlier in the season when due to a clash of jersey colours, the Charleville squad had to line out in a set of Bruff jerseys quickly scrounged before the kickoff. With three U16 Munster selectors present watching proceedings, this game may well have helped these young lads cause no end.
