[edit] 2006 Dublin Championship

Plunketts made it to the quarter finals of the Dublin Senior Club Football Championship. They were knocked out of the championship by Na Fianna in controversial circumstances. Na Fianna had played former Mayo footballer Gary Mullins who was not eligible to play in the game. An appeal was sent to the Dublin GAC and the Leinster Council and Gary Mullins was punished but Na Fianna continued to play St Vincents in the semi final.
