DCU Alumni Soccer Tournament

The DCU Alumni Soccer Tournament, now in its sixth year, takes place each July in DCU Sport.   This year on Saturday, 6th July in spectacular weather, on the astro turf pitches on campus, ten teams competed for the trophy.

Since the first tournament in 2008, the event has received an enormous response from alumni and attracted graduates from all walks of life.  DCU Soccer Development Officer Fran Butler co-ordinated the event and presented the trophy on the day. Steven Patten captained the cup winning team to take the top prize. This represents three wins in a row for Steven’s team in the Alumni Soccer Tournament.

Gerard Kiely, Alumni Relations Manager for DCU, warmly thanked the teams for participating and said,

“The Alumni Soccer Tournament has been up and running for six years now. It’s a significant event on the alumni calendar as we engage up to 100 soccer alumni, who are reconnected with the Soccer Club and their alma mater. We look forward to more sports alumni events in the coming months including golf and GAA.”
