2006

Vaughan received a place on Dublin's starting panel for the first time this season in their 2006 league encounter with Mayo. He lined out at left corner forward.

Mark began Dublin's leinster championship defence on the starting 15 and scored 1-0 in the process against Longford. He was dropped for Dublins next match against Laois. He came on as a sub against Laois playing quite well and setting up a goal although he failed to make an appearance in the Leinster senior football championship final which Dublin won. Vaughan made a second half substitute appearance against Westmeath in the All Ireland Quarter Final in Croke Park. Vaughan again made a second half substitutes appearance against Mayo where he twice hit the upright while also missing a 45 metre kick which would have tied the game up for Dublin.

While attending a nightclub after the Mayo game Vaughan was in an argument and had his cheekbone broken. [3] Despite this incident, Vaughan had publicly stated that he would be cheering on Mayo to collect the All-Ireland title.[4]

2007

Vaughan failed to make an appearance for Dublin in their opening match against neighbours Meath which finished as a draw. Vaughan was not announced on the original starting panel for the replay against Meath. Due to an injury to Darren Magee, Shane Ryan was moved from the half forward line to midfield and Vaughan was selected as the replacement. A decision was made by the Dublin management to select Vaughan as the freetaker in place of Tomás Quinn. Vaughan played outstandingly for Dublin in the game scoring eight points (five free kicks) to lead Dublin to a four point victory over their old rivals, a performance which would lead to a man of the match award.[3] Vaughan was selected in the centre forward position for the semi-final against Offaly to continue his role as freetaker.[4] He finished the game on (0-1f, 0-1 `45') in a forgettable game against the faithful county which sent his team to the Leinster Senior Football Championship final.[5] Mark increased his scoring tally by 1-06 when Dublin defeated Laois to win the 2007 Leinster championship.[6] His rich vein of form continued against Derry sending Dublin into the semi final while scoring 0-6, 0-3 f, 0-3 ‘45s.[7]

2008 - 2009

In 2008 Vaughan lost his free taking role with Dublin for the championship to former kicker Tomás Quinn. Vaughan came on as a substitute in the Leinster final and scored a goal in the victory over Wexford.[5] Vaughan won a Dublin Senior Football Championship medal with Kilmacud Crokes in October 2008 at Parnell Park. 2009, proved a successful year at club level for Mark. Vaughan played a man of the match role as Kilmacud Crokes beat Corofin of Galway in the All-Ireland club semi-final in Mullingar. He chipped in with six points and a solo goal that involved beating three players.[6] He then went on to win the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship with Crokes and scored a total of 0-4 (0-3f).[7]

Trivia

  • His missed free against Mayo made him the second Kilmacud Crokes forward in a row to miss a free, against an upright, late on in an All-Ireland semi-final to draw up the game(the other being Ray Cosgrove -v- Armagh, 2002).
