Well done to everyone for a great afternoons football last Saturday. We fielded 38 players across the 3 teams so it was great and to see all the lads getting full matches which is the main objective this year.It is important for their development to get as much "game time" as possible and of course they really enjoy being on the field and playing with their mates.

(A special word of thanks to Greg Foley for coming out to support his team-mates after picking up an injury on Friday)
We are currently being graded in 3 different "groups" as assigned by the Co Board and following completion of these matches by around end April we will then be graded "appropriately" (we hope) into 3 different divisions for the rest of the season. See previous emails for list of fixtures.
Our next match is on the 3rd march with training as usual on Thursday - with emphasis on taking points based on feedback from our three matches last week! While we had 1 win and 2 losses the scores reflect the fact that we are playing competitively in our respective groups which is most encouraging. Panner our club coach is also coaching the lads each week at these sessions on "core" exercises which is really important for their physical development so please make an effort to attend.
We really appreciate your support for both training and particularly on match days-important that as many of the lads are available on match days to ensure that we can field teams.
Finally if anyone has any queries please contact any of the mentors.Also for those of you who haven't got round to it yet please note that memberships for 2012 are now due- really easy to register online at www.stsylvesters.ie
