U13 football and hurling update

It was a busy weekend for the U13 hurlers and footballers of St Sylvesters. On Friday night we held the presentation of 2013 Football league medals for Divisions 1 and 5. We had players and families along and hopefully this is the first of many medal presentations we will be doing with these squads over the coming years.

Saturday was hurling matches for the A and B teams with our D footballers also playing. While the hurlers went down narrowly the footballers did well to take the scalp of St Finians of Newcastle.

Sunday brought 3 football matches with the A and C squads lining out in Bridgefield and the B team travelling to Lusk. These were back matches making up for those previously postponed due to bad weather and for a while it looked like the heavy rain would claim these games as victim too. But the referee passed the pitches as playable and we got underway. The A's had a hugely competitive match against Whitehall, squeaking home narrowly to maintain their unbeaten record in Division 1.

The Bs went down to a strong Lusk A team despite fighting to the finish and there are a number of excellent footballers in this squad. Our Cs narrowly went down to a strong Boden side, slack marking at the back allowing too many 3 pointers.

Thanks to the players and parents for their support, unfortunately we need to go through it all again next week with another 6 football matches !!
