The rationale for this move was that the club had no chance of progression or even survival unless a second team was put on the field.

The team draws its players mostly from the Tag-rugby leagues which are played every Summer in Parsonstown and from NUI Maynooth whose rugby programme has close links with Barnhall RFC.

Over the years Barnhall has produced players who have gone on to play representative rugby for Leinster, Ireland and even abroad.

Trevor was contracted to Leinster when he moved back to Barnhall who had just achieved senior status and were promoted to AIL Division 2.

He was capped 13 times for Ireland before moving to French side Toulouse where he appeared in three Heineken Cup finals in a row winning two of them.
