MU Barnhall Win First Fraser McMullen Cup Title
There was huge joy for MU Barnhall at the weekend as their U20 side sealed a first ever Fraser McMullen Cup with a hard fought victory over UCD at Merrion Road.
Emulating the success of their Senior team, who clinched promotion to Division 1B of the Energia All-Ireland League recently,the U20s overturned their recent loss to UCD in the JP Fanagan Premier 1 final to seal the title.
A penalty from Neil Byrne gave MU Barnhall the first score of the game and it was Byrne who stepped up with the final score to seal a famous 23-19 victory adding a try, two conversions and another penalty along the way.
