Glory for Lansdowne as brave Bruff fall short

LANSDOWNE set the pace in the AIB Division Two campaign way back in October when they hammered Bruff, on their own patch.

At Anglesea Road on Saturday, the Dublin 4 outfit sealed a wonderful season against the same opposition, but this time had to struggle much harder on their way to the divisional title.

Both teams had already won promotion to Division 1A, so a trophy and pride were at stake; Bruff certainly righted the wrongs of earlier in the season but it was scant consolation to their coach Eoin Cahill. “We were in a good position, we could have forced them into extra time but it wasn’t to be,” he said.
