Bruff RFC members come together to help support one of their own as they raise money to support the Cork University Hospital Neurosurgery Department, which is playing a vital role in the treatment of their U18.5 player, Jack Freeney.

Bruff RFC, a club deeply rooted in family and community values, is rallying support for Jack Freeney, a dedicated U18.5 player who has bravely been battling Melanoma in his brain over the past year.

To support the Cork University Hospital Neurosurgery Department, which continues to play a crucial role in his treatment, Askeaton Touring Club has kindly chosen CUH for their Charity Cycle this year. This event exemplifies the tight-knit spirit of Bruff RFC, where players, coaches, and families unite to support each other in times of need.

The cycle will take place on June 28 and 29, with an overnight stay in Charleville Park Hotel. The cycle will be stopping off at Bruff Rugby Club for lunch on the Saturday, as well as John The Baptist School, Hospital, where Jack has returned to complete his Leaving Certificate exams.

Jack has previously received support from the rugby community far and wide, including a visit from Munster Rugby star Craig Casey, where the scrum-half gifted the young Bruff RFC player with one of his Irish jerseys as well as a pair of his boots.
