the following year. That same year at the inaugural awards ceremony hosted by Friends of Dublin Hurling, Fallon was chosen as Dublin Senior Player of the Year. In 2008, he was nominated for an All Stars Award. Fallon missed Dublin's championship campaign in 2009 after he sustained a broken metatarsal against Kilkenny in the National Hurling League. After returning from injury, Fallon failed to break into Anthony Daly's championship line-up and retired in 2010. Inter-provincial In 2008, Fallon was selected at centre-back for the Leinster provincial team. In their first game, they beat Connacht in the semi-final of the Railway Cup. In the final in Portlaoise, Leinster faced a Munster team that was bidding for a three-in-a-row. Leinster beat them by 1–15 to 1–12, winning Fallon his first and only Railway Cup medal. Football career Club Fallon played football at senior level with St Vincents for many years. In 2006, one year after he lost to UCD in his first hurling county final, he faced the students again, this time in his first football county final. Once more, UCD were victorious, beating Vincents by 0–10 to 0–9. In 2007, Fallon won his first Dublin Senior Football Championship title with Vincents as an unused sub when they beat St Brigids by 0–12 to 1–7. They then went on to win a Leinster Senior Club Football Championship in December of that year, beating Tyrrellspass of Westmeath by 2–8 to 0–7, although Fallon did not take part in this game either. This qualified Vincents for the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, which they had not won since 1985. On Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March 2008, they played Nemo Rangers of Cork in the final in Croke Park, whom they had previously lost to in the final in 1973. However, Vincents were to be victorious on this occasion, beating Nemo by 1–11 to 0–13. Fallon came on as a substitute for Hugh Gill after 58 minutes, winning him his first and only All-Ireland medal. Inter-county Fallon never competed at senior level for the Dublin footballers, but was a dual player for Dublin up to under-21 level. He was on the starting panel that won the Leinster Under-21 Football Championship when they beat Kildare by 0–13 to 0–11 in 2005.
