The club were donated their playing ground in 1970 by
the late Col o Grady and embarked on a development
programme that now sees two floodlit pitches, training
pitches, gym, clubhouse and dressing rooms with a
perimeter walkway.
I started playing in the 72/73 season and have been
involved since to my current role as Club President.
The big attraction the club has to offer is it’s a family
club with a warm welcome for everyone once you step
inside the gate, but like all clubs in a rural setting it faces

probably the biggest.
The fact that we are rural means we don’t have any big
industry to aid us but are lucky to have a number of
small businesses that continue to sponsor and support
us. On the playing front our senior team currently sit
3rd in our league midway through the season, and we
will be hoping that we will be challenging for promotion
come March/April.
2019 sees the club plan to update dressing rooms and
continue with its clubhouse improvements. Bruff RFC

Con Regan has had a long and positive

Rugby Club Magazine, “My dad is from
Bruff and he played rugby in Limerick and
other counties too. Both my sons, Tom and
Billy, played underage for the club. I played
as a Hooker or Flanker in my playing days.

away from the area for Uni and work so this
affects the senior sides.
