Contact any member of Bruree GAA to join the draw.
AGM: The Annual General Meeting of Bruree GAA was held last week and attracted a large attendance. The meeting looked back at a busy 2012 and looked forward with anticipation to the coming year. The club played over fifty games at adult level during the year as well as organising training and fundraising activities. The senior hurlers fortunes improved this year and, but for circumstances outside their control, could have been involved in the playoff stages of the championship. They were narrowly defeated in the final of the county cup. The intermediate footballers were somewhat out of their depth at this level in spite of some good performances. The junior hurlers reached the quarter final of the south championship and great credit is due to the players for the great effort they put in during the year. Bruree competed at minor level for the first time in a number of years and put in some excellent performances. There were a number of very successful fundraising initiatives during the year including the golf classic, players draw, fun day, lotto, fun cycle, Mackey draw and the church gate collection. A sincere thanks is offered to everyone who supported and helped organise these events. The club also embraced new technology with a Facebook page being set up. The treasurers report showed the club to be in a sound financial position. The club would like to thank everyone involved with the club during 2012 and everyone who helped in any way with the running and financing of the club.
