Blow for third-level giants as four-time Sigerson Cup winning coach steps down

Professor Niall Moyna has called time on his successful DCU tenure.

ONE OF THE most successful coaches in Sigerson Cup history is stepping down from his role at Dublin City University.

Niall Moyna, Professor and Head of the School of Health and Human Performance and a member of the Centre for Preventive Medicine in DCU, called time on a 15-year spell in charge following Saturday’s Sigerson Cup final defeat to UCD.

DCU won the Freshers League and championship this year and a new man will be at the helm for next year’s Sigerson campaign as the former champions look to make an impact again at the elite level.

Moyna lit the touchpaper for DCU’s Sigerson Cup success over the past decade and under his tutelage, four titles were annexed in 2006, 2010, 2012 and 2015.

DCU also won the O’Byrne Cup twice with Moyna at the helm, in 2010 and 2012.
