The old cliche points the way as river men make floodlit hay
BRU NA BOINNE… 2-09 MOYFENRAGH… 0-10 If it aint broke don’t fix it. Using a cliche to defend the use of cliches is possibly the most Irish thing going. But it literally was a case of goals winning games as Bru Na Boinne got their Regional Football Championship challenge up and running in front of…
