In Memoriam Vincent Cummins Vince became a member of the Munster Football Association in 1975 and, in over 35 years involvement, served the association as Chairman, Assistant Treasurer, and Hon. Treasurer, a position he filled until his retirement in 2009.

Vince represented the MFA at FAI Youth, Junior and Senior Levels of the game and sat on a number of different FAI committees. He was a member of the FAI Junior Council 1975-1978, FAI Youth Committee 1978-1990 where he served as Chairman from 1980-1982. He then became a member of the FAI Senior Council in 1990 and served on that body until 2006. Vince was made a Life Vice-President of the FAI in 2006.

However, it is involvement in the development of Turners Cross that he will be best remembered for. Over the years he was the main driving force in developing the ground into one of the finest stadiums in the country. When the MFA acquired the ground in 1983, the pitch was in a poor state, as it was surrounded by four grassy banks and the dressing rooms consisting of a galvanised shed. Today the pitch is considered one of the best in the country, the stadium is an all-seater stadium covered on four sides and the dressing rooms are fine and spacious. The ground as it stands is indeed a fitting testament to all of his hard work.
