Rónán Fallon (born 1984) is an Irish former hurler who played as a centre-back for the Dublin senior team. Born in Dublin, Fallon played both hurling and Gaelic football with his local club, St Vincents. He won an All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship with Vincents as a used sub in 2008. At senior inter-county level, Fallon played exclusively with the Dublin hurlers from 2003 to 2010. During this time, he established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the country which culminated in him winning a Vodafone GAA All Stars of the Month award in March 2007 and being nominated for an All Stars Award in 2008. Hurling career Club Fallon plays hurling with the famous St Vincents club in Marino, Dublin. While he has never won a Dublin Senior Hurling Championship title with them, he has been a runner-up on three occasions. He played in his first county final in 2005 against UCD, losing by a scoreline 3–13 to 2–10. Fallon reached county final with Vincents again in 2007 when they lost to Ballyboden St Endas by 2–13 to 1–5. He suffered another heavy defeat to Ballyboden in the 2010 final, this time losing by a scoreline of 3–17 to 1–10. Inter-county Fallon made his debut for the Dublin senior hurlers in a National League game against Kilkenny in 2003. Earlier that year, he was a substitute on the Dublin team that beat Kilkenny in the Walsh Cup final at Parnell Park by 2–11 to 2–10. This was an unusual start to any Dublin hurlers career as it was Dublin's' first piece of hurling silverware since 1966. In 2005, Dublin were relegated to Division 2 of the National Hurling League after finishing at the bottom of the table in Division 1. The following year, Dublin gained promotion back to Division 1 when they won their first ever Division 2 title, beating Kerry in the final by 0–16 to 0–6. While Fallon was not to win any more silverware with the Dubs thereafter, he made a name for himself at inter-county level as an impressive centre-back, receiving many individual accolades. He was named at centre-back on the 2006 and 2007 Dublin Blue Stars teams and won a Vodafone GAA All Stars of the Month award in March 2007, having led Dublin at centre-back to victories over Galway and Limerick in the League, thus securing their Division 1 status for
