What was expected to be one of the toughest encounters for Barnhall in this season proved to be the case with a blistering second half display by Instonians at Shaw's Bridge on Saturday? ...more

Instonians have returned to Div. Three after just one season above in AIL – 2. Barnhall visit Shaw's Bridge for the first time on the back of a 28-11 victory over ‘Inst' at Parsonstown in April 2001. This will be a tough assignment for Barnhall as the last time that Instonians lost at home to a Leinster club in all competitions was in February 2006.

Barnhall made the trip to meet high flying Dolphin looking to follow the example set by Ballynahinch, last years winners of this cup competition. Despite the excellent preparation and the level of commitment shown by the Parsonstown team the efforts were short of the requirement. The final score of 38 points to 3 does not do justice to the competitive nature of this game which was played at a cracking pace with a full blooded display given by both sides...more

Barnhall recorded their second consecutive win of their league campaign with a win over AIB at Barnhall on Saturday afternoon in a game that was played in ideal conditions. The balmy conditions allowed for some fantastic free flowing rugby and Barnhall took full advantage to stamp their authority on the game ...more

Barnhall J4 opened their 2009-10 league season with an excellent win away to Monkstown last Saturday night. The game kicked off late at 5.45pm and finished under the new lights that Monkstown have only recently installed.
Monkstown started brightly and put Barnhall under early pressure but some excellent defence kept them at bay. Barnhall then began to settle and after a few line breaks eventually got into scoring position. A lineout and drive on the Monkstown 22 resulted in the ball being recycled back to scrumhalf Albert Nagel who passed to the evergreen number 10 Leo Turley who struck a sweet drop goal from 30 meters to open the scoring....more

A minutes silence was observed in honour of the passing of the Barnhall Hon Secretary and life member Michael Hennessey. It was a fitting tribute to a great servant to Barnhall.

Once the game commenced Barnhall were found wanting as a clearance was blocked down after only 40 seconds on the clock and James McBride nipped in for a well executed try in the left hand corner. A good conversion effort by Dan McKernan failed and the visitors were five points to the good before the game really started. Barnhall quickly stamped their authority on the game and apart from some difficult scrims in the early stages looked quite comfortable in every other department of the game. After 14 minutes and some sustained pressure on Rainey Leo Quinn was offered a penalty about thirty meters out and he converted with some to spare. Five minutes later McKernan was gifted a penalty from 32 meters and he made no mistake stretching the Visitors lead to 3 points to 8....more

In perfect conditions for rugby on Saturday morning in Parsonstown, Barnhall's young bulls produced a much improved performance to win 7-0 in a very close and bruising encounter over 2009 Leinster Cup winners, Dundalk....more

Barnhall U17‘s played their second game of their Premier North Leinster league season with a home game to Dundalk RFC. After last week's wins against Birr the young Bulls faced a tough match from one of the league's top sides...more

A peculiar ray of sunshine entered Barnhall RFC in the 1985-86 season when Michael Hennessy climbed over the gate to the old clubhouse. To say Michael was a team player was an understatement as he gave his all both on and off the pitch. Michael was always so full of life, good humour and encouragement for others that it's either a pleasure or simply mandatory to be in his company. He toiled on many teams relishing the rough and tumble, especially if it was soft and slow underfoot. Michael excelled in post match analysis and was generally a connoisseur of Guinness amongst other beverages.

When Michael 's active playing days were over he was easily persuaded to become part and parcel of club administration. He willingly accepted the post of Honorary Secretary and for five years he managed all of the clubs correspondence meeting all commitments timescales and schedules. He was particularly skilled in dealing with officialdom. He carried out his tasks with the greatest of professionalism and without fuss. Michael always managed to entertain committee meetings with his synopsis of correspondence and had an astute political brain particularly adept at overcoming difficult situations. All within Barnhall and within the Leinster branch respected him highly.

Sadly that peculiar ray of sunshine has set most untimely. Michael's passing this morning has left many feeling a sense of great loss. We think of his loving wife Gay, his three children and all of his family at this time, as they have all fought alongside Michael throughout his illness for the past year. The only comfort Barnhall can give to them is to say thank you for the time Michael was able to devote to Barnhall. Michael was a gentleman and we were privileged to know him.

May he rest in Peace.

In a very windy affair at Longford on Saturday, Barnhall's young Bulls were just not good enough to come away with a result. Although for periods, Barnhall looked to play far more rugby than their counterparts a solid defence and some very questionable refereeing kept the Blues out ...more

An exciting and sporting exhibition of rugby was played out in high winds at Hamilton Park on Saturday. This was always going to be a game where the wind advantage needed to be utilised as it blew a gale straight down the pitch. Barnhall kicked off into the gale and quickly asserted themselves on the game playing by far the better rugby. Barry Dunne was immense in all aspects of play and his attacking and defensive rugby was high quality text book fare. Philip Furlong who has improved with each game this season was also a towering figure and caused no end of difficulty for Ards. Some stray passes and the odd knock on prevented Barnhall from making serious inroads on the score board. Stout defence and wind assisted clearances pinned Barnhall back after each attack and it looked like the first half would yield few scores ...more
