St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 3rd February
St Vincent de Paul Cup Final 2012, Ballymun Kickams 0-14 St Sylvesters 1-12
What a great start to the year, a cup final victory over the current Dublin and Leinster champions. This was well deserved after the two heartbreaking single score defeats in the vital matches last year, two defeats but not defeated. Well done Gabriel and all involved for your perseverance.
The Bank of Ireland sponsored annual awards night on Saturday was a fantastic occasion highlighting the many and varied successes in 2012. The players who were nominated and the award winners were celebrated in a stunning presentation by John Keenan. Darragh O’Sé spoke eloquently about his west Kerry roots. John “Skinner” Ryan received the Hall of Fame award to a rapturous reception and John Comey received the Clubman of the Year award for his unstinting contribution over many years. We are standing on their shoulders. Míle buíochas.
