Niall Moyna has vowed not to promote gaelic games in the future in the wake of the rule barring Cork's Aidan Walsh and Donegal's Michael Boyle from lining out with DCU in the Sigerson Cup.

The pair appealed the ruling to the DRA but were unsuccessful and Moyna has revealed the level of disillusionment that exists amongst the Dublin college's playing ranks, including Donegal All-Ireland winning captain Michael Murphy.

Speaking following their Sigerson Cup quarter-final win over Queens University yesterday, Moyna told The Irish Daily Star: "Michael Murphy is going to be a PE teacher so is Paul Flynn and Aidan. Why, why, why would they go out and promote our games if that is the way they are going to be treated. Michael Murphy was disgusted.

"After a team meeting he said that if there was ever an excuse to give up Gaelic Games, tonight was certainly it.

"It was unfair, the way they were treated.

"That young man (Walsh) is going out to teach physical education and I certainly won't be encouraging him to promote Gaelic Games, and I mean that.

"In my classes from now on I have no intention of promoting Gaelic Games.

"There are people who must spend all of their time thinking of ways for students not to play and if they would spend one tenth of their time figuring out how to get more people to play inter-collegiate football they would be serving their time much better.

"It is very disappointing for him (Walsh). He's devastated and so is Michael (Boyle)." Tweet
