The internal Dave Hickey Cup competition affords Dublin management the opportunity to assess emerging talent within the county, while running the eye over current squad members. 

This year we are opening up the competition finals to Dublin football supporters, while also raising some badly needed funds for the two charity partners of the Dublin football team- The Soar Foundation and Respect. 

This internal competition is named after iconic Dublin footballer, Dave Hickey. 

Dave and his former teammates of the '70s have been inspirational figures within Dublin football, single handedly changing the Gaelic Games landscape in the county. 

In addition to being a powerhouse on the field of play, Dave has been a pioneer in his professional career as a surgeon. 

He has also been a huge advocate for change in the lives of those who are much less fortunate than most, at home and abroad. 

Dave continues to have an impact on Dublin football. He has had a strong connection with the senior football team over the past decade as a team selector, team doctor, confidante and close friend to players past and present. 

To all Dublin players, young and old, Dave Hickey is a fantastic role model and Dublin players feel honoured to compete for this trophy in his name. 

We look forward to Dave presenting the cup to the winning teams on Wednesday evening. 

Dublin South are aiming to retain the Dave Hickey Cup, having beaten the Dublin Development squad in the semi-final by 2-12 to 1-09. 

The other semi final saw Dublin North beat Dublin West on penalties, after their semi-final ended in a draw (3-12 to 1-18).
