BUCCANEERS 7 HIGHFIELD 24

The Galway senior hurlers will have five weeks without a competitive fixture ahead of their Leinster championship opener against Carlow in late April. They failed to defeat a dogged Limerick side in their final group game in Pearse Stadium.

Having clawed their way back from significant deficits in both halves, the Galway senior hurlers ran out of steam in the closing minutes of last Sunday’s National League encounter with Tipperary as the hosts ran out five point victors.

“It was 1998. I just answered an admin job ad in the paper; I had no idea it was rugby…” so says Joan Breslin (née Moore) about her first foray into the world of rugby administration almost 25 years ago. After working in marketing for Clarinbridge Crystal and Dunlop Tyres in Galway, Joan’s career as a backroom ‘blazer’ with the IRFU and Six Nations tournament took off. Now she finds herself at the apex of the professional game as World Rugby’s project coordinator for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

Buccaneers travel south to Cork on Saturday to face high-flying Highfield in the third round of the Energia All-Ireland League.
