The Chairman of Dunboyne A.F.C. is currently Eugene Dowling, who was elected on May 26th 2010 at the A.G.M. Eugene took over from Mr. Jake (Gerard) Robinson, who served as Chairman of the Club for ten years, and oversaw the transformation of the Club from a greenfield site to the wonderful facilities that the Club boasts now.
