The spirit of rugby was alive and well in Parsonstown recently as MU Barnhall played host to their fifth annual All Inclusive Tag Rugby Tournament. Team from all over Ireland were in attendance and the guest of honour was Ireland legend Ollie Campbell.
Months of planning and organising saw teams from across the island being part of what was an all-inclusive day of tag rugby and friendship.

Each team wore their club colours with pride and at the end of each game handshakes and smiles we exchanged.
