UCD launch Tony O'Neill scholarship

UCD football club has launched a scholarship trust in memory of the club’s hugely distinguished Dr Tony O’Neill who passed away 10 years ago tomorrow, writes Emmet Malone .

In 1979 O’Neil, a former General Secretary of the FAI, pioneered the university’s sports scholarship programme, one that has been emulated at numerous other colleges around the country since. Countless graduates of the scheme have gone on to establish themselves as leading players in the League of Ireland and beyond having earned a third level education during their time at Belfield.

Now, in order to secure the future of soccer scholarships at UCD, the club has set up the Dr Tony O’Neill Soccer Scholarship Trust which will operate independently of the day to day running of the Club. The principal aim of the Trust, which will be co-ordinated by former club chairman Brendan Dillon, is to raise €250,000 over its first three years with a target of €100,000 for the first year.
