Minor A hurlers win again - share top spot
MHL2 I don't see the score posted but I believe we won by a single point over Isles of the Sea (Scoil Ui Conaill and Clanna Gael Fontenoy). The first half had some excellent hurling from both sides and it was great to see some of the minor footballers show up to ensure we had a strong side as it's often hard to field at this time of year.
Junior Bs lose to Cuala
AFL8 St Sylvesters 0-10 Cuala 1-11 I guess Cuala will be celebrating their revenge for last nights defeat down in Dalkey. It was a good competitive game, level four or five timesbut we took the wrong options in attack in the last quarter and Cuala, with a strong wind in their backs, we more economical with their chances. Lots of good displays from the likes of Rob Taylor, James McKennaByrne, Dylan McEvoy and Sean Halligan, and it was great to see an evergreen Shay Keogh still tormenting a full back.
Inters let it slip against Brigids
AFL3 I think we lost by three against Brigids, we looked pretty good in the first half against the wind, defending bravely and staying within a few points. I didn't see the second half as the game clashed with the seniors on the other field. Pity they always clash, it's hard to watch both teams.
Good win for seniors over Cuala
AFL1 St Sylvesters 3-18 Cuala 1-09 Probably a fair reflection of this game, we came out of the blocks quickly against a strong wind and knocked over a string of points and seemed to be moving faster and more decisively than I had previously noticed. Alan Foy and Gary were running hard up the middle, long balls from Ed to Micháel and Conor Meaney also a feature. Ross blocked a clearance and solo'ed through for a goal that gave us a six point half time lead.
Danielle Lawless stars in Dublin Minors Leinster Championship victory.
Dublin minors emerged convincing winners over Westmeath on Sunday last in Clane. The final score line of 6.22 to 4.9 belies the resurgence of Meath in the final ten minutes of normal time. With ten minutes remaining the Jackies lead by twelve points and were coasting. Meath had other ideas and deservedly forced extra time.
St Sylvesters Hurling Camp 2016
We had another fantastic week of hurling in Broomfield this week with one hundred and five young energetic St Sylvesters hurlers taking part. This is the largest number we have had over the seven years that the camp is running. It is a tribute to all the hard work being done by the mentors in the juvenile section.
Update on Bridgefield modifications proposals
As many members are aware, Fingal County Council recently drafted plans to increase the size of the car park in Bridgefield, the proposal will go before a full session of the Councillors in July and in advance an information meeting was held in the Library, Ciaran Meehan (Chairman) and Ernie Brenner (Secretary) attended and spoke on the clubs beha
Hurlers pulled back to a late draw
AHL3 St Sylvesters 3-13 St Peregrines 3-13 I love a bit of fast ground hurling and bemoan the rugby style scrummaging that is all too prevalent in the game today so I was both admiring and disappointed of a fast low pull on a rebounding sliothar by the Peregrines wing forward to goal and secure a draw in last nights Inter Hurling game in Broomfield. We led for pretty much all the game, by eight points at one stage, so it was certainly disappointing to drop a point in the end. Conor Meaney was probably our standout player with a few excellent points, Ciaran Falvey had a great game in the corner and the Flarertys and Morrises were solid in defence.
