JUVENILE GAA:

Presentations: Earlier this week, presentations were made to players within the club who have significant achievements in Gaelic games this year. Emma Hogan and Jimmy Leslie Madigan both represented Limerick in the Primary Go Games at the Gaelic Grounds. For the first time ever, Bruree has five representatives on Limerick underage panels. Tommy Cronnolly (Under 14 hurling), Patrick Carey (Under 15 football) and Shane Feane, Aaron Fitzgerald and Terence Galvin Buckley (Under 15 hurling) were presented with Bruree socks and togs. Congratulations to these young people who are keeping the name of Brú Rí club to the fore at county level.
Under 8 Blitz: Bruree, along with  Galtee Gaels, Mitchelstown and Glanworth participated in an Under 8 Football blitz in Kilbehenny on Friday evening. Unfortunately Bruree were unlucky in all 3 matches but a great evening was had by all. Some great talent coming up the ranks and it’s a pleasure to watch our Under 8s competing at such high levels and showing some great skills at this early stage of their young careers. The Bruree players who took part were Ian Finn, Laura Frawley, Ryan Murphy, Paddy Lynch, Niall Tobin, Kevin Hayden, Robyn Finn, Shannon Carey, Katie Sexton, Conor Frawley and Jack O’Shea.
Under 12: Cill Mocheallóg 5 : 3 (18) Brú Rí 4 : 5 (17) Bruree Under 12 footballers met Kilmallock for a home game on Monday 18th June. This was a lively high-scoring match played in a strong breeze. The first scores of the game came from Peter Buckley and Sam Cronolly who put over a point each in the opening minutes. Kilmallock’s subsequent goal was answered by goals from Matthew Howard and Cathal Barrington. The teams were very evenly matched and struggled hard for control of the game at this stage. Despite Kiara McCarthy’s speed in midfield and some great saves from Eoghan O’Driscoll, Kilmallock succeeded in getting a point and a goal in the closing minutes of the first half. A second point from Sam Cronolly brought Bruree’s half-time score to 2 : 3 with Kilmallock only slightly behind at 2 : 1.
The visitors gained the upper hand early in the second half, putting in two goals in the first five minutes; the attack from Kilmallock was intense with Brian McCarthy and Harry Mullane’s defence playing a significant role in keeping the ball out of the net after these scores. Two points from Sam Cronolly and Brian McCarthy limited the damage somewhat, and a goal from Sam Cronolly helped Bruree to come back a little. However, a fifth goal from Kilmallock and their two further points put Bruree under severe pressure, and despite a final goal from the home side Kilmallock were ahead by one point at the end of the match.
A lively and exciting game, full of tension and suspense. Credit is due to both sides for the standard of football displayed on the night. The Bruree panel showed themselves to be persistent, tenacious and even heroic in their sustained and determined effort to win. This quality can only benefit the team as the season progresses. Well done to everyone and better luck next time out!
