Alrite lads (and lasses!)

It's that time of the year again where we look into the possibility of reforming St. Vincent's for the upcoming season 09/10. Last year we had several training sessions and a meeting but it never got off the ground. This year, it'll be done slightly different.

After Easter we will be having weekly training sessions in Cabra, starting off once a week and then as we come into May, we'll look into training twice a week to prepare for the match against Belfast Deaf United FC which has been scheduled to take place in Cabra on the 30th May.

I feel it important to stress that it is up to players who are interested in representing St. Vincent's in the league next season to attend these training sessions because there is no better way to express your desire to play for St. Vincent's by turning up for the training sessions every week.

Towards the end of the training period, a judgement will be made based on overall attitude and desire shown by players throughout these sessions. The result of this judgement will ultimately determine if we will enter a team into the league for the upcoming season 09/10 or not. At some point before the match against the boys from Belfast, we will have a formal meeting to discuss where to go from there.

Regardless of the outcome of the decision made on the future of St. Vincent's DFC, the match against Belfast Deaf United FC will go ahead so this way whatever happens, you will at least have the chance to tog out in the famous blue jersey to bid goodbye to the past, and to embrace the future of the club which lies in your hands. The next chapter of the St. Vincent's history book is blank. It is up to us all to pull together as a team, as a community and leave behind us a legacy that will be told to our future generations, just as stories from the past generations have been told to us throughout our tender years.

I hope you will spread the word and play your part in creating interest within the Deaf community about the possible reformation of St. just Vincent's Deaf Football Club.

Please keep an eye on this website for formal notification of when training starts.

Cheers,

Ciarán Moloney

 
 

5th January 2009 - Matchday 1

St. Vincent's DFC 8 – 4 Tallaght DFC
Maguire x 2
Keogh x 2
L. Moloney x 3
Daly

In the opening match of the Emerald Futsal League, St. Vincents got off to a great start by recording an impressive victory over Tallaght. The first half was an evenly contested affair and Tallaght opened the scoring from a well excuted shot from Pat Maher. However the boys in blue started to impose their quality and maintained their tempo by rotating players from the sub's bench as TDFC started to tire as they only had one sub. The blues swiftly equalised and went into the break with a cushion of 2 goals.

However when the 2nd half resumed, Tallaght took advantage of our casual play and reduced the defict to one goal to make it 4-3 before we pulled away again and left the reds floundering as we made sure of the three points to see us sitting nicely on top of the league after the first round of fixtures.

After the match, Tallaght claimed the outcome would have been different if they had their whole squad available to them so it should make for an interesting fixture when we meet them again on the 19th April.

First five: Rino Giglione, Paul O'Callaghan, Colm Keogh, Liam Moloney and Jason Maguire
Subs: Sean Herlihy, Brian Daly, Roy Maguire and Ciarán Moloney

Our MOM: Jason Maguire-very fluid and kept moving. Showed us how good he can be when he forgets about giving out to players and concentrates on his futsal! LOL!
MOM for TDFC: Eoin Nolan. First time playing futsal and he made a couple of good saves to keep the scoreline down for his team.

 
 

Welcome to our new website which is being launched to celebrate the relaunch of St. Vincent's DFC!

Sadly we are no longer a football club. 3 years ago, towards the end of our 11-a-side era, it was a sombre experience to come to the harsh realisation that we were no longer able to compete as we had done in the past due to various factors, and this sadly led to the withdrawal from the Athletic Union League.

After 3 years of inactivity, it was decided to start afresh and embark upon a positive change. A change that we hope, that in our evolution into a futsal club, will serve the club many more years of success. A change that we hope will serve the Deaf community a reason to proudly identify themselves with the club once again. A change that we hope that will serve you the opportunity to fulfill your ambitions with us. But above all, it's a change we hope that will serve you the chance to stand up and be counted. Pride. Dreams. Glory.

Once a Blue, Always a Blue.

St. Vincent's DFC “The blue revolution has started”
