Juniors take the B Championship
JFC B St Congratulations to Declan and Shane and their team who won over Civil Service at Parnell on Saturday. Declan will send me a report. The team have been building to this for a few years and the success is very well deserved.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL SATURDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER 2014 PARNELL PARK 4pm
Our Junior footballers have qualified for the championship final and will play Civil Service on Saturday in Parnell Park at 4pm. This team has steadily progressed over the last couple of years winning promotion to AFL 6 in 2013 and just losing out in the playoffs last year o move up to AFL5, as well as reaching three cup finals and winning two of them in the last three years.
Adult Football and Hurling League Tables
As of 28th August . . . .Hurlers looking for Senior League status, need two wins . . . . other than that we are depending on championships for a bit of excitement . . . and I'm sure there will be some, starting this Saturday evening at Poppintree for Senior Hurling B Championship Quarter Finals and two weeks time Junior B Championship Final . . .
Seniors leave it behind them
AFL1 St Sylvesters 0-10 Parnells 2-05 Disappointing loss in a game we dominated for about 50 minutes but didn't take enough scores. We were leading by two and still looking comfortable when Conor Mortimer earned a penalty that was well executed. We traded points but missed a couple of opportunities to equalise .It was a lovely evening with a big crowd but a pity to have lost a good lively game. Good to see Dave Galvin back in action after a long layoff.
Junior Bs lose out in extra time
JFC D QF St Sylvesters 1-09 St Oliver Plunkets ER 1-13 AET.Disappointing result in a game we looked like winning for long periods but we just didn't take our chances when we were in control and paid the price late in the game when Plunkets fresh legs off the bench seemed to make the difference.
Junior As reach C'ship Final
JFC B SF St Sylvesters 1-12 Robert Emmets 0-11 Congratulations to the Junior A team on a fine semi final win over a nice looking Emmets team in Broomfield. We struggled early on and trailed 4 to 2 but a few changes just before the break yielded a good Kev O'Flynn goal and a few points and this knocked Emmets back. We dominated for a long while in the second half before a late Emmets charge made us concentrate till the end.
AFL6 two wins in three days
Junior A footballers go into the break on the back of wins 2-14 to 1-08 against Naomh Fionbarra at home on Sunday and 2-12 to 1-07 away to Clontarf on Tuesday. Next up semi final of Junior B Championship V Robert Emmets Sunday 24th August in Broomfield at 11.00.

The draws for the 2014 Minor Football and Hurling Championships took place last night and resulted in the groups as listed on the attachment. Commencement Dates - Minor Hurling - September 7th. Minor Football - September 14th. (dates subject to possible minor inter-county commitments).
Seniors lose at Glenalbyn
AFL1 Kilmacud Crokes 0-16 St Sylvesters 0-14 Never out of it but always a couple of points off the pace on Saturday evening away to Crokes. We were very tight on our panel and didn't have the backup late in the game to make the push for the win. We did score plenty of good points, Jockser, Eoin Fanning, Niall, Alan Foy all contributing but the few goal chances we spurned in the first half were probably the missed chance to win.
AFL6 Sunday 27th V N Fionnbarra Broomfield 10.30
AFL6 Sunday 27th V N Fionnbarra Broomfield 10.30 Thanks Declan
Inters lost to Finbars
AFL3 St Sylvesters 1-09 St Finbars 1-15 A much depleted Inter team, relying on five minors, put up a game effort against the more mature Finbars but couldn't get through for the goals we needed late in the game.
Seniors lose to Maurs in lively game
AFL1 We lost by 4 points I think in a high scoring game. Disappointing to lose a very open competitive game against a Maurs team that are pushing hard to make the league play-offs. The lead changed hands a few times and we looked the stronger team in the first half but didn't convert enough in scores. Maurs upped the pace in the second half and a couple of goals gave them a good lead going into the final stages.
Junior B reach C'ship QF
Our Junior B's advanced to the Q/F of the Junior D Championship with an impressive 2-22 to 0-03 win away at Naomh Barrog. Andrew Mc Donnell and Brian Danagher are doing a great job this year at the helm, even though they are both still playing themselves. . There is fantastic spirit in the team and they are playing a lovely brand of direct football.
Seniors good win away to Boden
AFL1 Ballyboden Et Endas 0-01 St Sylvesters 1-15 Good response to last weeks setback, Sweeney, Micháel, Foy, Gavin all in top form, defensively solid and won plenty of ball in the middle. Dominic got a bad belt (not sinister) and left in an ambulance, hopefully just a precaution, we wish him well.
Dan McEvoy leads Junior As to C'ship semi-final
Junior A's are into the semi final of Junior B Championship after a hard fought win in Westmanstown beating Garda 1-15 to 0-10. One of many star performers on the night was Daniel Mc Evoy who contributed 1-09. Score of the night went to Reuben Kirrane, playing at corner back, who got onto the end of a move which started deep in our own half to tap over from 14 Yards.
Late showing not enough in VdeP final
VdeP Cup Final Ballymun Kickhams 1-12 St Sylvesters 1-09 A good late surge was not enough to regain the Vincent de Paul Cup from Ballymun in a lively final at Pairc Cicaem. Playing with the wind in the first half we were not as clinical as the Mun and went in six points down at the break, Michael and Eoin our most successful forwards. Mike was a little isolated as we played too deep to be dangerous. The second half was a different story, we upped the pace and drove forward in a much more determined fashion.
Seniors continue good run
AFL1 Another impressive win over Plunkets in Broomfield on an absolutely beautiful evening. Again an impressive half back line of Gavin, Beano and Collie Mc backed up Shane and Jockser in the middle which formed the basis for the win. We moved the ball quickly up the field, especially in the first half into a light wind, and Michael, Eoin Fannngand Gary picked off points to lead nine to two at the break.
Sinead Aherne 3-05 from play in Leinster Championship
Reigning champions Dublin booked their place in the TG4 Leinster Ladies Football Senior Championship semi-final on Sunday with a comprehensive 20 point victory over Kildare, Dublin 6-14, Kildare 1-9
Seniors win over Vincents in VdeP
I think about a five point win in a lively game which qualifies us to play Ballymun in the Final yet again. Gavin McArdle working his way back to forrm after a long layoff, Collie Mc, Beano and Conor Ryan a solid half back line, Micháel the pick of the forwards with some lovely points, Fionn masquerading as a dual star corner forward was also on target as he was last evening in the hurling.. We have had a nice run of wins after looking quite shaky a few months ago. Hard to read too much into it of course but more right than wrong.
Pitch improvements in Broomfield
We are currently working on our pitches in Broomfield. I would ask all to be responsible in relation to training and games especially as we are investing club monies to renew and improve the playing surfaces on both pitch 1 & 2.
Inters win in extra time
IFC R2 I couldn't make the game on Saturday evening at St Margarets but reports are that we made a tremendous recovery againts Clan Mhuire from The Naul and won well in extra time. Can someone send a few notes.
Seniors look strong at the Naul
SFC R1 St Sylvesters 1-09 St Maurs 0-09 Very important win for us given the slow start to the season. From start to finish we were by far the better team and and, for the first time this year displayed some of the strength and drive of previous years although we did waste a lot of chances. We beat a team who sit at the top of AFL1 and we are now eagerly looking forward.
Inters over tricky Ballymun hurdle
IFC St Sylvesters 1-13 Ballymun Kickhams 1-09 Closer than it needed to be in the end but we were always in control against Joe Boynes Ballymun. Jack was the standout player on the filed but there were plenty of impressive displays by Conor Colclough, Conor Ryan, a very swift John Peacock, Brian McCarthy and Mark Finnerty up front.
Seniors go down to Judes
AFL1 St Sudes 3-14 St Sylvesters 2-06 Well beaten is the fairest assessment, Judes were confident and efficient especially in their point scoring, we started well but became hesitant and lacking in confidence as the game progressed. Some good displays, Ross seems to have recovered his form, Shane made many good catches, John Peacock looked at home at corner back, nice to welcome back Rob Wallace after a bad injury at Maurs last year, Mark Finnerty and Brian McCarthy both looked lively when introduced as second half substitutes.

Impressive Junior Football win
JFC C St Maurs 0-07 St Sylvesters 0-13 A tough Championship game away to Maurs, it took us a long time to get to grips with a very determined Maurs outfit who started well and raced into a three point lead. Dan and Peter got to grips in the middle and our fast forwards, Kevin Casey, Dylan and Paul Connolly, Eoin Sweeney knocked over a few points and we went in even at the break after facing a strong breeze.
Good Luck to Stephen, Conor and the Dublin U21s
All Ireland U21 Final - this Saturday in Tullamore against Roscommon. Throw in 3pm These lads DESERVE support. Make the trip ! Best wishes to Stephen Cunningham and Conor Meaney
Minors win over Whitehall
MFL2 St Sylvesters 3-10 Whitehall Colmcille 1-13 (at least I think we won by 3). A somewhat laboured win in a game we really should have put away a lot easier. It was good to win however as we lost a similar effort at Skerries on Wednesday. There is a lot of football in this team and we will be looking forward to some more forceful displays after the Leaving.
Best wishes to Scooby and the Dubs U21
Best of luck to Stephen Cunningham and the Dublin U21s in the All Ireland semi-final at Portlaois on Saturday afternoon.
