VdeP Syls 0-16 Ballymun Kickhams 2-07

Pretty decent display by the Seniors against a good looking Ballymun outfit.

U15H Div2 Syls 4-7  Olafs 1-7 (?)

Under 15s had a comfortable win in the end vs. Olafs in Sandyford. We had 4 under 14s lining out on the day and all competed well – in particular our goalkeeper (name?) had a fine game. Scoring was spread well among our forwards with Sean Kane, continuing where he left off from the last day with a hat trick of goals. Elsewhere John Sexton impressed with a final tally of 1-4. Kevin O’Flynn was dominant in midfield while Conor Quinn and Brendáin were solid in defence.

U16H Div2 Syls 1-7, Erins Isle 3-7

A disappointing result in the end after early promise was not built on. The turning point in the match came mid way through the second half, as we missed a penalty following a foul on Andy Smith. Isles responded well with 2 well taken goals. This is a setback for the team, following a good opening win. The lads will no doubt respond with extra effort in training! Best for us was Gareth McGrath at centre back who read the game extremely well.

U14H Syls 1-7 St Vincents 3-10

The steep learning curve continues.We were quite competitive in the first half but we ran out of steam in the second. There was no shortage of effort. Jordan Lawless had a massive game at centre half and Philip Browne did well in goal. Our main problem was not winning enough possession especially from puck outs and looose ball. We need to improve our sharpness. Conor Dwyer to a heavy fall in the first half and thankfully he's not seriously injured. We have a growing injury list. Vincents obliged by reducing to 14 players and get full marks for sportmanship. It was heart warming to see Colm O'Connor out watching juvenille hurling on a cold and windswept industrial estate in south county Dublin.

U13H Syls 1-2 Commercials 3-4

Disappointing turnout was our undoing against Commercials after our great showing two weeks ago against Scoil. Paul Ryan got the goal and was unlucky with another and Colm Boran got the two points from frees. Eoin Kennedy in particular and Thomas Colclough put in the hard graft in the middle and Paddy and Hugh Murray spurned the sickbed to help out at corner forward and in goal.
