Bruff
youth; every Sunday morning it swarms with young
kids from all ages looking to become the next John Hayes
or Ronan O’Gara and its testament to all the volunteer
coaches, both men and women, who give their time on a
voluntary basis.
The Club fields underage teams at all age groups and
now also start to field girls teams at a lot of different age
groups over the past number of years. Our 20s continue
to provide our adult teams with a constant pipeline of
players and massive satisfaction to see them coming
through the system.
We are one of only nine clubs who field an U20 team in
Munster. The Club also prides itself on being a club that
contributes to the wider game, from supplying Lions
player John Hayes to international referee George Clancy
to present Munster Rugby President Mr Ger Malone.
The Club are very much aware of the challenges it faces
going forward; balancing the books is never going to go
away, keeping our senior status is a challenge. Where the
AIL is going in its format remains a question and trying
to grow our base and continue to develop our facilities in
Killballyowen Park is another challenge.
The Club would like to take this opportunity to welcome
everyone to visit Bruff RFC when they are in the South
Limerick surrounds and if you are a club wishing to visit
on tour we will gladly try to accommodate you with a
typical Bruff RFC welcome!

Griffins Coaches
“I live locally and am a big GAA and
hurling fan but Bruff RFC is my closest
club. I have transported the club’s
players and members around for
many years and it’s great to see how
well they are playing and particularly
finishing, getting the ball down over
the try line.
It is a very friendly, well-respected
local club who have produced many
great local players who have gone on
to higher things. Griffins Coaches have
always tried to help the club out when
they can.
I would like to congratulate
everyone at the club on such a great
season particularly as the young
people are coming through now which
can only be good for Bruff Rugby Club
and their many supporters.”
