Shane Dalton is a member of St Vincents GAA Club in Marino Dublin. He originally started his playing career with St Monicas, Edenmore[1] and joined St Vincents at the age of 16. He was a senior dual player for both his club St Vincents and his county Dublin. He played minor, Under 21 and senior in hurling and Gaelic football for Dublin. He was mainly a forward but has also played at midfield. He is one of the last club players in Dublin to achieve honours at championship level in both codes (Hurling and Gaelic Football) at Minor, Under 21 and Senior level. He is one of the few players that has won adult championships in four decades starting from the 80s, right through to 2010 winning a junior hurling championship. At Inter-County level he started his playing career in 1978 with Dublin Under 13 hurling team and finished playing with the Dublin Masters Gaelic Football team in 2009. In that game in 1978 in an Inter City Schools game when Dublin Under 13s played Cork at Croke Park there were some notable personalities who played on both teams that day. In the hurling game you had former soccer World Cup heroes in Niall Quinn[2] at number 14 and Denis Irwin[3] for Cork in at number 5. Jim Stynes[4] the Australian Rules footballer and Brian Mooney[5] professional footballer with Liverpool playing in the football decider. He played with the Dublin Senior hurlers making his debut against Tipperary in October 1983 with his last game against Westmeath in 1999, winning two Division 2 National League hurling medals in 1989 and 1997 and losing a Leinster final against Offaly in 1990. He played with the Dublin Senior footballers for two years being a sub against Meath in 1991 in one of the most iconic games ever in the GAA.[6] It was the biggest attendance ever for a Championship game that took four games to decide who would advance to the next round in the Leinster Championship.
He has also another rare distinction in capturing the New York hurling and New York football senior championships on the same day with the same club Westmeath in 1996 scoring 1:10 in the replayed hurling decider (scoring 1:12 in the first game) and 0:03 in the football. He thus became the highest ever scorer in a New York GAA[7] hurling or football decider amassing 2:22 in both hurling games.(unverified claim). He has represented Leinster from 1988 - 1990 and one of a few Dublin hurling players to win an Inter-Provincial medal in 1988 at midfield.[8] He has also represented Ireland GAA Masters in the International Rules Series in 2008 in Australia.
He is the last manager at St Vincents to win the Division One Minor Hurling Championship in 2002. In 2011 he managed the senior camogie team in St Vincents in which they won Division 1 league three times[9] and were runners up in three championship finals. In 2014 he became a selector for the Dublin Camogie Senior[10] team but had to resign due to family issues. He is also a regular contributor on Stadium Saturday with Dublin City FM[11] about all things GAA in Dublin.
