Bruree Lose Out To Ahane: Bruree’s Senior hurlers, while for long periods having the better of the exchanges, had no answer to a second half resurgence from Ahane in the County Senior Hurling Championship replay at Bruff on Friday evening. Ahane got off to a lively start with a goal and two points to a pointed Bruree free from Donal Deady in the opening six minutes. However, the soft goal seemed to enliven Bruree who quickly replied with two well taken points from play, one each from James C. O’Brien and Gerard O’Brien. The next ten minutes were all Bruree who ran into a three point lead. However, Bruree were relying on the free taking ability of Donal Deady for their scores. Donal added four points from frees while James V. O’Brien had one from play. Ahane had two points from play either side of another Donal Deady pointed free to leave the half time score Bruree 0-9 Ahane 1-4. In spite of having much of the play and a couple of goal chances during the second half, it was Ahane who notched up the vital scores. Bruree only managed two points in the half hour, both from Donal Deady placed balls. Ahane had a total of 1-5 to leave the final score Bruree 0-11 Ahane 2-9. While this was a spirited performance from Bruree, it is a worry that the scoring return from play is so low. On Friday night we had 0-3 from play in the first half and no score from play in the second. We will have to start running up greater tallies from play if we are to achieve any targets in this year’s championship. Next up, it’s Murroe-Boher who will have to be treated with the greatest respect if we are not to suffer another defeat. The Bruree team was Daniel Lane, Brian O’Rourke, John O’Brien, Andrew Sexton, Dessie Lenihan, Stephen McDonogh, Shane Mullane, James Charles O’Brien, James Vincent O’Brien, Michael Lane, Jimmy O’Dea, Tommy O’Brien, Stephen O’Halloran, Gerard O’Brien, Donal Deady, Eamon Sexton, Paddy Kelly, Brendan Hogan, Gerard O’Dea, Declan Sexton, Vincent Stanton, Patrick Deady, David Hogan, Mike Sexton.
Golf Classic: A fundraising Golf Classic will be held at Charleville Golf Club on Friday, July 17th. A very attractive first prize of All Ireland Final tickets plus overnight accommodation makes this the classic to be part of. Our adult club presently has teams in senior hurling league and championship, junior “A” hurling and football and Under 21 hurling and football. Our underage players are the future of Bruree GAA and the membership of our juvenile club has never been higher - 98 members are currently registered. We strive to provide regular training and matches to cater from Under 8 to Under 16 level. We are aware that, in the present economic climate, serious consideration has to be given to the level of support provided to organizations like ourselves. To enable everyone who wants to support the Bruree GAA Golf Classic this year to do so, we have reduced the team entry fee to €100 (team of 3) and tee sponsorship to €50. We trust that you will agree that this represents excellent value and we look forward to your continued support. If you have any queries please contact Chairman Noel O’Halloran on 087 7512396. For team bookings contact John Carey at 087-2701771.
