To celebrate 60 years since our establishment in 1949, we held a tournament over the weekend of the 18th-20th June 2010. The tournament was contested by four teams; St Vincent's A team, St Vincent's B team, Belfast Deaf Utd and Cork City DFC. Sadly neither of our two teams did not win the tournament as Cork City DFC, featuring a large number of international Deaf players, showed no mercy en-route to capturing the winner's trophy by defeating St Vincent's A team 5-2 in the final. On the Sunday night, we had a presentation night at Gresham hotel in Dublin City centre where a number of awards were presented to the players, both past and present.

Outstanding Contribution Award

In appreciation of their services to the club, Charlie Gibbons and Con Lynch were presented with a lovely glass plague each in recognition of their outstanding contribution over the years. Their enthusiasm and love for the club has and always will be appreciated by fellow members of the Football Club.

Dream Team

After asking various managers that had served the club in the past, we were able to present a Dream Team selection of the past 60 years made up of 11 players who had collected the most votes from the managers.

GK: Rino Giglione
RB: Denis Moloney
CB: Tim Grace
CB: Tommy Murray
LB: Michael Moloney
RM: Geoff Foy
CM: John McHugh
CM: Colm O'Connor
LM: Stuart Foy
FW: Micheal Waldron
FW: Noel Mc Loughlin

Of course when the dream team was unveiled, it was a subject of a healthy debate among many players lobbying for the inclusion of others, as is the nature of the game which invokes passion and opinion!

Last but not least, the club would like to thank those who attended the presentation night. 300 people supported the event and your support is, as always, greatly appreciated!
