WHEN the AIL’s most prolific attack faced the most suffocating defence, something had to give, in this Division Three final in Donnybrook on Saturday.

IT’S a very social club, is Bruff RFC, and that was much in evidence at last Saturday’s vital AIL division 3 match against promotion rivals Queens University, from Belfast.

BRENDAN DEADY brought the AIB League Division Three trophy back to Kilballyowen Park on Saturday night and dedicated the famous win to Bruff player/coach Eoin Cahill.
