Grounded in our rich history, we reach the final paragraph in the current chapter of VEC Football Club. Across 52 consecutive seasons, VEC FC has delivered more than its fair share of success on the pitch and forged lifelong bonds off the pitch.
After 52 years of continuous and proud membership of the United Churches Football League and playing in the VEC Sportsgrounds in Terenure, it is with genuine sadness and no small amount of reluctance that we have had to withdraw from the league. We found ourselves well short of the minimum registrations needed to safely and reliably fulfil our fixture obligations, despite our recent best efforts to plug the gaps.
But hopefully these are not ‘final words’ – we will not completely rule out any future possibility of re-forming in some shape or form. We have most certainly enjoyed our sporting lives together. So, wherever the VEC FC name goes next, our memories remain ours forevermore — as proud clubmen for life.
