During this halcyon period for Drums the early 1960s saw the Tolka Park side make history as the first League of Ireland side to register an aggregate win in European competition when they knocked Danish side B 1909 Odense out of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (4–1 H,2–4 A) in the 1962–63 season. Although beaten 6–0 by Bayern Munich in the following round in Germany, they did restore pride with a 1–0 home win in the second leg, Billy Dixon netting the winning goal. Drums also played Atlético Madrid (0–8 A,1–5 H), Nuremberg (0–5 A,1–4 H), Eintracht Frankfurt (0–2 H,1–6 A), and Vorwärts Berlin (1–0 H,0–3 A) in European competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Irish Clubs In European Cups )〕 At the end of the 1971–72 season the team amalgamated with Home Farm, Drums final league game in their own right being a 1–1 draw with Shelbourne at Tolka on 5 April 1972. It was announced by Brendan Menton Sr., Home Farm honorary secretary at the time, that the all amateur club had taken over the entire share capital of their professional neighbouring club, Drumcondra F.C.
