June 26, 1982 Bruree Beat poor Bruff.

Bruree 3-15 Bruff 3-4

After their good win over Garryspillane in the second round, better things were expected of Bruff when they met Bruree at Knocklong in the quarter final of the South senior hurling championship. But early in the game, Bruree asserted their superiority and ran out easy winners. Bruree paved the way to victory in the first half when paying with the wind they were ahead by 3-10 to 2-0. They had an early point on the turnover, and although Bruff did try al the way, Bruree were completely on top and went on to qualify to meet Kilmallock in the semi-final. Scorers: Bruree M. Mullane and J. Potter (1-3), J. Bresnihan (1-0), G. Mullane(0-3), G. Randles (0-2), P. Potter, D. Mullane, P. O’Brien and D. Deady (0-1). Bruff: W. Bulfin (1-1), A. Gubbins and T. McAuliffe (1-0 each), S. Bulfin, W. Irwin and R. O’Leary(0-1 each). Referee F. Costello, Banogue.

July 10th, 1982 Easy for Bruree

Bruree 1-9 Kilmallock 0-4

Kilmallock, only a puck of the ball from winning last years Limerick senior hurling final, bit the dust on Sunday when they were well and truly beaten by Bruree in the South division semi-final. It was a rather poor exhibition of hurling and Kilmallock never lifted their game. Their forwards were hopelessly inept and their score line is stark indication of this. Bruree had much better heart and showed this with a good second half display. They had the edge in the first half and led 0-3 to 0-2. Five minutes in the second half Kilmallock had levelled but Bruree came back to lead again and at the end of the third quarter they were still a point ahead. Then early in this quarter a Bruree 65’ went into the net off a Kilmallock defender. This was a signal for a greater effort by the Bruree men and they finished up good winners by eight points. Scorers: Bruree G. Mullane 0-5, D. Mullane 1-1, P. O’Brien 0-1 and J. Potter (0-2). Kilmallock: P. Kelly 0-3, D. O’Riordan 0-1. Referee Mr Frank Costello, Banogue

Irish Examiner, Tuesday, July 27, 1982 Close call for Bruree

Croom 2-8, Bruree 3-5. Bruree, the reigning campions, had a close call at Bruff yesterday when they finished on level terms with Croom in this year's South Limerick senior hurling final. Croom. who were trying for their first-ever South Limerick senior hurling title, got off to a dream start with a point followed by a goal before the game was three minutes old. They continued to have the upper hand and led at halftime by 2-6 to 2-2. Nine minutes into the second half Bruree had levelled and then four minutes later they led for the first and only time. Croom levelled the scoring again and went into the lead with a point. Three minutes from the end Danny Deady had a good point to bring Bruree on level terms

Irish Examiner Saturday, August 07, 1982 Bruree win BRUREE 2-9 KILMALLOCK 2-8

By the narrowest of margins, Bruree won the final set of trophies in the final of the Kilmallock Senior hurling tournament by defeating the local team by 2-9 to 2-8. Bruree were well on top in the opening half and, with Kilmallock throwing away scoring opportunities, the visitors led at half time by 1-7 to 0-4. Kilmallock showed up in much better light on the turnover and came within one shot of levelling matters, but Bruree held on.

Bruree scorers were G. Mullane, N. Brosnan, D. Deady, M. Mullane and P. Potter, while T. Moore, P. Kelly, G. O'Brien and M. Maguire scored for Kilmallock.

Mr. Kevin Walsh, Garryspillane refereed.

The cup and trophies were presented to D. Mullane, captain of the Bruree team by Mr. T. Moloney, chairman of Kilmallock Sportsfield.

August 21, 1982 By Sean Murphy Bruree Stroll to semi-final Bruree 3-10 Adare 3-3

Bruree, still reeling after that shock thrashing by Croom in the South Final replay, stormed back into contention for county championship honours when they hammered a fancied Adare side by seven point 3-10 to 3-3 in the quarter-final of the senior hurling championship at Pairc na nGael on Sunday. A near gale-force wind was vital factor in the outcome of this encounter, which provided some good passages of hurling, without ever reaching the classical mould. Bruree laid the foundation for the success when aided by the elements in the first half, as from the outset they served notice that they really meant business. They opened the scoring after six minutes when John Potter pointed from a side-line puck, and they got a real boost after ten minutes when Michael Mullane outwitted the Adare defence to shoot a great goal. Adare were, however, moving well, with Mike Butler really posing problems for Jim O’Brien by his tearaway tactics and only two great saves by Mike O’Brien, the Bruree goalie, prevented major scores for the West champions. Shane Fitzgibbon gave Adare renewed hope when he crashed home a superb goal just before the break to leave Adare trailing 2-6 to 1-1 at half time. When Mike Alfred pointed for Adare early on resuming, the stage was set for an epic struggle with the odds now definitely favouring Adare. But Bruree had other ideas and with John Lyons, Danny Deady, Pat Potter and Donal Mullane performing heroics, they consolidated their position and continued to maintain their dominant grip. The goal that finally sealed Adare came in the 13th minute of the second half and that was a real present, which was graciously accepted with telling effect by Mike Moloney, when he coolly crashed a pass from an Adare defender to the net. From then onwards Adare were fighting an uphill battle, and never shaped up as a rallying force, despite some spirited promptings from Brendan Flynn, who scored a peach of a goal, P.J Kinnevane, goalie Pat Brennan, Ger Hickey, Mike Butler, Mike Alfred, Shane Fitzgibbon and veteran substitute Dick Costelloe. For Bruree John Lyons, Pat Potter, Donal Mullane, Danny Deady, Ger Randles, Mike Mullane, Mike Moloney and Jim O’Brien in the second half were best.

Evening Echo, Thursday, September 02, 1982; Patrickswell To Meet Bruree

The way is clear for the Limerick County senior hurling championship final in which Patrickswell will meet Bruree. Bruree qualified on Sunday last when they had a runaway win, 3-8 to 0-9 over Mungret.Mungret, appearing in the semi-final for the first time, could manage only four points from play, but they missed eight scorable chances from frees.But the Bruree goalkeeper, Michael O'Brien, made at least three magnificent saves and his brother Jim, a star on the Limerick team which won the All-Ireland final in 1973 also starred in the win.

Limerick Leader, Saturday, September 04, 1982; By Sean Murphy

O’Brien’s star as Bruree advance.

Bruree 3-8 Mungret 0-9

Inspired by the classic performance of veteran Jim O’Brien at full-back and some superb saves by his brother Michael, in goal, Bruree cruised with consummate ease into the county senior hurling championship final when they devastated hapless Mungret by eight points in the semi final before a c crowd who paid £2,250 at rain-lashed Rathkeale on Sunday last. As has been the norm throughout the entire campaign to date, this was a keen and unrelenting battle, but it provided little in the way of thrills, excitement, or hurling skills for the expectant fans.

It started at an electrifying pace with both sides picking off two points apiece in the opening two minutes, but gradually the tempo dropped, as Bruree assumed control and the Mungret challenge petered out. The poverty of Mungret’s challenge is best put into perspective by the fact that they could only manage four points from play, but even allowing for this, the issue would have been much closer had Mungret bit missed eight scorable frees, and of course, the brilliance of Michael O’Brien in the Bruree goal deprived them of at least three certain goals.

Superb

But really the rock on which Mungret’s aspirations perished was the absolute majestic performance of the ageless Jim O’Brien at full back for Bruree. A true hurling artiste. O’Brien may be lacking the pace of bygone days, but he still brought all his wonderful skills to bear on the game, as he barred Mungret’s path to goal, especially during the heavy siege in the second half. Playing against a near gale-force wind in the first half, Mungret started as if they were going to demolish their opponents with Eddie Barry wreaking havoc at centre forward. The former Banogue scoring ace lofted over two points from play into the teeth of the gale in the opening 90 seconds but alas they only flattered to deceive.

Slowly but surely Bruree found their rhythm, and with Donal Mullane settling in at centre back, they proceeded to ride roughshod over their opponents. They nudged into the lead in a most fortuitous manner in the 12th minute when Gerry O’Brien parred a shot and Mick Mullane was on hand to slam home a vital goal. This was the spark that ignited Bruree, and they showed marvellous cohesion and workmanship as they built up a commanding interval lead of 10 points. The Mungret defence was badly at fault in the 18th minute when Ger Mullane was allowed to crash home Bruree’s second goal without being challenged, although no fewer than five defenders were close at hand.

Bruree certainly made it an uphill battle for Mungret three minutes before half time when following a superb save by Gerry O’Brien, Mike Moloney unleashed an unstoppable shot for goal number three which saw Bruree leading by 3-6 to 0-5 at the interval. A heavy shower on resuming made conditions pretty tough for players and spectators and when Connie Keating pointed within 30 seconds of the restart, the stage looked set for a dramatic duel for supremacy. Mungret won oceans of possession, but Bruree reacted to the challenge and carried the game to their opponents in determined mood. Their defence expertly marshalled by Jim O’Brien, soaked up the almost continuous pressure and a truly magnificent save by Mick O’Brien from Andy McCallin was the turning point of the game. Mungret could not break down the Bruree defensive citadel, and although the South Limerick boys could only manage a point in the second half, they finished deserving winners. In addition to Jim and Michael O’Brien, Hugh Hogan, John Moloney and John Lyons shone in the Bruree defence: Pat Potter and Danny Deady gained an important edge at midfield, while in an attack that was lethal especially in the first half, Pat O’Brien, Ger Mullane, Mick Mullane and John Potter were most dangerous.

For Mungret, Vincent O’Donoghue, Connie Keating and Noel Sexton wee best in a sometimes-suspect defence, Liam O’Donoghue did trojan work at midfield but the attack, after early promise, failed completely with Eddie Barry, Denis Keating and substitute Andy McCallin posing any real test to a rock-like Bruree defence. Scorers: Bruree G. Mullane 1-3, M. Mullane 1-0, M. Moloney 1-0, P. O’Brien 0-2, J. Potter 0-2, P. Potter 0-1. Mungret: C. Keating 0-4, E. Barry 0-3, D. Keating 0-1, L. O’Donoghue 0-1 Teams: Bruree M. O’Brien, H. Hogan, J. O’Brien, J. Moloney, J. Lyons, D. Mullane, E. O’Dea, D. Deady, P. Potter, J. Potter, P. O’Brien, G. Randles, G. Mullane, M. Mullane, M. Moloney Mungret: G. O’Brien, M. Malone, M. Barron, V. O’Donoghue, N. Sexton, C. Keating, J. Keating, L. O’Donoghue, P. Tobin, T. Byrnes, H. O’Grady, E. Barry, G. Malone, D. Keating, J. Fitzgerald. Subs: A. McCallin for G.

Evening Echo, Saturday, September 04, 1982 Sport on Shannonside with Charlie Mulqueen. Bruree Upset The Odds

The path was cleared for the final of the Limerick senior hurling championship on Sunday when Bruree caused a major upset by easily beating a very disappointing Mungret side. While according full credit to Bruree's well deserved success, one cannot help feeling sorry for Mungret's Liam O'Donoghue, a pillar of the Limerick side for over ten years and a man yet to appear in a county final. As neighbours Patrickswell have challenged year after year for the title, O'Donoghue's Mungret have had to take a back seat. This time, it looked a different proposition, and they were hot favourites to dispose of the inconsistent Bruree boys. But it was the other way around as former Limerick star Jim O'Brien used all the experience gathered over the year and with his brother, goalkeeper Michael, held off the best that Mungret could throw at their citadel.

Further out the field, John Lyons, Pat Potter, Danny Deady, Pat O'Brien, Ger Mullane (top scorer with 1-3), Mike Mullane and John Potter were all magnificent. And so, it's Bruree and Patrickswell in the final; the latter will be red-hot favourites, but after last week's exploits of Bruree, Richie Bennis and the rest of the "Well" lads would be advised not to take anything for granted.

Irish Press, Wednesday, September 08, 1982 O’Brien’s Bid for Elusive Medal

Jim O'Brien, full back on the Limerick team for almost two decades, will hope to lead his club, Bruree, to their first senior county hurling title since 1893 at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Sunday. - O'Brien, who played intercounty hurling from 1963 to 78, has won every honour in the game except a senior county medal. On Sunday, he will attempt to put that right when his side faces. Patrickswell, Ironically, his immediate opponent will be Richie Bennis who played with him on the Limerick team which tasted All-Ireland glory in 1973. Bruree last reached the county final in 1978 but were beaten 2-5 to 2-9 by South Liberties. Realistically, they will start as rank outsiders on Sunday against a team- which includes county players Leonard Enright, Sean Foley, Pa Foley, Frankie Nolan and Dom Punch. But they are sure to have huge support behind them in their courageous quest.

Evening Echo, Friday, September 10, 1982 Great Expectations By CHARLIE MULQUEEN

LIMERICK hurling supporters, desperately searching for a crumb of comfort in what appears to be an immediate future of little hope, will flock to the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday in expectation of great things from the county final between Patrickswell and Bruree. After the latter's shock semi-final victory over Mungret, there must be every chance of a close battle for the coveted title although it will be a shock if Patrickswell's greater experience doesn't tell in their favour. The "Well' have been the most consistent team in Limerick for many years now and it will be a pleasure to watch Ritchie Bennis displaying his exciting if slightly unorthodox skills once more on Sunday. Sean Foley, Frankie Nolan, Dom and David Punch, Pa Foley, Leonard Enright and so on are all still there to provide what sounds like a "who's who" of Limerick burling in the 70's and early 80's.On the face of it, Bruree are the rank outsiders but so were they against Mungret and they won that game decisively. Jim O'Brien's hurling artistry is sure to frustrate many a Patrickswell attack, and John and Gerard Moloney, Pat O'Brien and Pat Potter all have the requisite experience. Yet I expect to see the "Well" triumph with quite a bit to spare at the finish.

Irish Examiner, Saturday, September 11, 1982 CAN BRUREE DO IT?

BRUREE will be seeking to bridge an 89-year gap when they meet Patrickswell in what promises to be an intriguing Limerick County senior hurling championship final at the Ennis Road grounds tomorrow. The game is expected to bring into opposition two of the Limerick stars in their 1973 All Ireland final win, Jim O'Brien of Bruree and Richie Bennis. Indeed, Bennis will be hoping for his seventh county senior medal whereas O'Brien has yet to win such an honour. On the outcome of their duel could well depend on the destination of the trophy. Bruree have had a topsy turvy passage to the final. They were well beaten in the South Division final by Croom but coming back in by the losers group they beat a talented Adare side and went on to beat Mungret in the semi-final. Bruree have not appeared in the county final since 1978 but this time they have experience. They have a very solid defence in which Mick O'Brien has been an outstanding goalkeeper. Jim O'Brien has been playing better than ever in the full back line in which Hugh Hogan and John Moloney are tight marking and reliable. The half back line of Eamonn O’Dea, Donal Mullane and John Lyons are most effective, and Danny Deady and Jon Potter are a solid midfield. Up front Mike Mullane, Ger Randles, Pat O’Brien, Pat Potter, and Ger Mullane have had some excellent scores but on other occasions have not been impressive. Patrickswell made their big breakthrough in 1965 and since then they have been in quite a few finals, winning six of them. Brother M. V. O’Grady, who had great success as trainer of Tipperary underage teams, has been acting in that capacity with Patrickswell this season and has so far been remarkably successful. Ben Nolan is a solid goalkeeper and All-Star Leonard Enright is one of the top full backs in the country. Sean Foley is another key defender and Terence Murray and Jimmy Fenton are a solid midfield pair. Pa Foley, Frankie Nolan, and Richie Bennis have been the top scorers in the attack, and much will depend on their performance tomorrow. Patrickswell, even without the injured David Punch and Tom O’Brien, are favourites but Bruree will be doing all in their power to win that elusive medal for Jim O’Brien.

Irish Press, Monday, September 13, 1982 Seventh For Patrickswell PATRICKSWELL PATRICKSWELL 0-17 BRUREE 0-15

PATRICKSWELL won their seventh Limerick senior hurling title at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday when they staged a thrilling rally to defeat the underdogs Bruree by a narrow two-points margin. Bruree, assisted by the strong wind, were well on top in the opening stages and turned over at half time leading by 12 points to eight. It hardly looked a sufficient advantage, but they began the second half in great style and had stretched their advantage to five points after seven minutes. At this stage, Patrickswell made a series of positional switches, and they immediately began to have the desired effect. All Star Leonard Enright suddenly became a dominant figure at centre half back, and Sean Foley also came more into the picture once he joined his brother Pat, at midfield.Two brilliant long-range points by Terence Murray and the opportunism of veterans Frankie Nolan and Richie Bennis gradually wore down Bruree until Nicholas Wall equalised at 14 points each in the 21st minute.Within 60 seconds, Nolan had Patrickswell ahead for the first time since the 11th minute and two further points by Sean Foley and Bennis clinched the issue in Patrickswell's favour.Enright, the Foley brothers. Murray and Nolan were outstanding for Patrickswell, but man of the match was the veteran of Bruree full-back Jim O'Brien, who restricted Bennis to a single point from play and who was a towering figure throughout. He received excellent support from the Mullane, brothers and Pat and John Potter. Scorers: Patrickswell — R. Bennis (0-5); F. Nolan (04); T. Murray (0-3); G. Hayes (0-3); N. Wall . (0-1); S. Foley (0-1). Bruree — P. O'Brien(04): G. Mullane (04); P. Potter (0-3); J. Potter (0-2); D. Mullane (0-2)

Patrickswell tops in close tie.

By Sean Murphy

PATRICKSWELL 0-17 BRUREE 0-15

THERE was no fairy-tale ending to Jim O'Brien's much-publicised bid for that coveted county medal in last Sunday's iLimerick senior hurling championship final, as the overall craft and experience of Patrickswell, plus some shrewd tactical switches by their men-tors, brought a late flurry of scores which finally sounded the death-knell for Bruree's aspirations in a goal-less final by just two points 0-17 to 0-15.Bless their hearts-all 31 players-for a match worthy of the occasion, which was a real cliff-hanger, and for excitement and the sheer closeness of the exchanges would be hard to equal, and will become one of the few comforting memories from an otherwise drab season.

In the end the 'Well took the honours for the 7th time, after it looked for long periods that Bruree at long last were about to end their 89-year wait in the the hurling wilderness. And while the Well merited the prize, Bruree may draw some consolation from the significance of their role in a stirring contest. They gave full vent to their accomplishments in this titanic struggle, in which each side led for a period, and the teams were level on five occasions before Frankie Nolan gave Patrickswell the vital lead just eight minutes from the end. Up to that moment, and indeed up the last thrilling second, it was anybody's game, played with such dash and verve that one could only feel sorry for the losers and their ageless warrior, Jim O'Brien.

The 'Well possessed the brains, hurling craft and side-line "know how to match the demands of the big occasion much better than Bruree, who were every bit as skilful but were limited in many positions.The pitch was in excellent trim and after Sexton Street C.B.S. Pipe Band led the teams in the parade, referee Neily Duggan got the game under way just two minutes behind the scheduled time.Bruree, playing into the city goal and aided by a near-gale force wind, got off to a tonic start when captain Donal Mullane lofted over a truly magnificent point from almost 100 yards range.

Ritchie Bennis, with his usual unerring accuracy from frees. negatived this lead in the 3rd minute, and this set the pattern for a tit for tat first half which saw the team’s level on four occasions, and the 'Well led once for a short period.Donal Mullane from & 65 and Ger Hayes from play exchanged points and John Potter with a real beauty from play and Richie Bennis from a free again brought equality and only six minutes had elapsed. The Well edged the lead for the one and only time in the first half when Ritchie Bennis snatched 2point from play after 10 minutes but their advantage was short lived as Pat O'Brien who was proving a real handful for Sean Folev equalised. In racing parlance, Bruree were frontrunners and forcing the pace but for a variety of reasons were unable to draw clear and indelibly stamp their authority on the scoreboard. They were creating excellent chances, but they frittered away some great opportunities by inaccuracy and other times by over caution.

For the next ten minutes it was a ding-dong struggle, with Ger Mullane snatching three points including one cheeky effort from a handpass, and his brother, Donal, pointing a long range free for Bruree. For the Well, Frankie Nolan was wreaking havoc in the Bruree defence and he picked off two nice points, with Terence Murray and Ger Hayes getting two more from play to make matters all square once again after 23 minutes. Quite suddenly Bruree turned on the steam and with some excellent points from play by Pat O Brien (2), Pat Potter and John Potter they jumped into a deserved 4-point lead 0-12 to 0-8 at half-time, but taking the elements into consideration it looked in sufficient. as the Well had per-formed with confidence in that first half, with substitute Ger Burke making a real impact. The Well restarted with Terence Murray at midfield. and this switch was to have a vital bearing on the eventual outcome. and when Ger Hayes grabbed a point in the opening minute after resuming it seemed as if the floodgates were going to open.

But we reckoned without the skill, spirit and composure of this Bruree outfit. who had Patrickswell on the offensive for the opening ten minutes. It was Bruree's best period and when Pat O'Brien weaved his way through for two great points, they began to move with the confidence of a winning side. Panic began to set into the Well camp. but it is to their credit that they were able to regroup their forces when they were threatened to be demolished. In a lightning reshuffle, Leonard Enright went centre-back. with Sean Foley moving to midfield. John O'Brien took over the role of fullback, with Dom Punch dropping back to the left-corner berth. and immediately the rear-guard was reinforced. Each of the defenders grew in confidence and determination and supported one another adroitly in every tussle and with Joe Murphy alert and rock-like in goal the Bruree threat was gradually closed off. And no one shone more brightly in the last twenty minutes for the 'Well than utility man Terence Murray, now at midfield, where he used his speed and positional sense to telling effect, grabbing two superb long range points after picking up short clearances his pressurised defence. Frankie Nolan, too, garnered a valuable point as Bruree’s five point lead slowly dwindled and the sides were locked together once more with nine minutes remaining after Ritchie Bennis pointed a free and Nicholas Wall shot the equalising score. Patrickswell surged ahead in the 22nd minute with a point from Frankie Nolan and. after Donal Mullane was just off target with a 65. Sean Foley from play and Ritchie Bennis shot the insurance point from a free to earn his 7th county medal. Bruree never threw in the towel and fought doggedly to the bitter end. In their final assault. Mike Mullane raised a white flag from a side-line puck but time beat them and Patrickswell had regained the crown.Terence Murray. Frankie Nolan. Pat Foley. Sean Foley.
