'I don’t know what I’d do without Bruff and the good decent people'

Bruff’s Peter Malone crossing over for a try in the 2011 Munster Senior Cup final despite the best efforts of Garryowen’s Conor Murray.

The official functions to mark Bruff RFC’s 50th anniversary may be on hold in the midst of this pandemic but for members of the rural Co. Limerick club there is still plenty to celebrate.

Founded by teenagers Willie Conway and Nicholas Cooke in 1969-70, Bruff is one of the newest clubs on the block but has managed to pack an awful lot in over the last 50 years as well as making a significant impact on both Munster and Irish rugby.
