U9 football and hurling news
Last week we faced Erin’s Isle in hurling and both games were tough we
seen an excellent performance from Darragh Fitzpatrick having
returned to the team after a short absence Daragh and Ciaran McLoughney
put on blistering displays of how ground hurling should be played Sam
Daly and Sean Jacksland stood strong in defence and Luke Darcy puck
outs were excellent dropping the ball into the oppositions goal mouth
feeding Syls hungry forwards Mark Lally played a blinder and notched up a
good few scores the other team members were 100% committed and truly a
force to reckoned with
Our second match was also a great game and we seen brilliant ground
hurling and marking skills from all the lads Luke Carroll and Gavin
McCormack in particular Syls players were hungry for the ball and our
demonstration of the pick up and into the hand skill were straight out
of the text book a top job from Conail Deburca and Ben Mooney Conail
scored a smashing goal with a first time pull and rocked the opposition
net Syls lads penalised the opposition with every opportunity
scoring from all angels Seamus Carey dominated the midfield and kept
our forwards busy Daragh Curtin and Mark Kavanagh tested the
opposition goalie and were not long about finding the target when full
time came Syls emerged the victors so hats off to the lads it was a
deserved victory
The improvement in the lads is terrific and now that they are mastering
the skills we are looking a strong team developing sure there will be
no stopping them so keep on practicing lads
