Senior Ladies win critical league encounter
As in our Championship encounter with Clanna Gael/Fontenoy, this was a cracking game of football, with both teams playing an open attacking running and passing style. Clanna Gael had some extra players in and new management, apparently from Trinity College, who use the Clanna Gael grounds as their home base.
SYLS U16 GIRLS QUALIFY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL
Syls Girls U16s beat Scoil Ui Conail to qualify for the Div3 Championship Final where they will play Naomh Olafs. Squad numbers have been very tight for this group in recent years and we didn't have enough players to field in the league earlier this year. However, thanks to great co-operation from the U15 and U14 players and management, we have a strong group who have played very well in the Championship and deserve their chance in the final which will take place on 19th October (venue to be confirmed).

Syls Ladies Gaelic Little Bit of History
Just a short note. In Syls. 111 year history Last Night 23 July 2014 was the first time we had two adult ladies teams playing side by side in Broomfield. The Seniors had a good Cup win V Lucan Sarsfields on pitch 2. On the other side of the hedge Pitch 4 the new Junior Team started their Championship Season (mid season) with a challenge V Fingallians. The Swords team won well on the scoreboard, but Syls put up a fighting spirited performance for their very first game. They start their Championship bid V Thomas Davis away on Monday 11 August 2014.
Syl's Senior Ladies clinch Cup with facile win
Our Senior Ladies footballers won their first silverware of the year on Wednesday night by beating a very weak Lucan Sarsfields team by 5-13 to 0-1. Apart from a tendency to give the ball away too easily, this was an accomplished performance with all 19 players on view making solid contributions
Ladies back to their winning ways
St, Maur's 4-5, St. Sylvester's 3-12. Syl's Ladies won this top of the table Cup clash with St. Maur's on Wednesday evening. We were missing our County stars and four other first choice players but put in a spirited if flawed performance to secure top place on goal difference.

Syls young ladies overpowered by Foxrock Cabinteely.
Congratulations and well done to our senior ladies reaching the Senior Championship semi-final, a marvellous achievement coming from junior status three years ago. While we have some brilliant young players coming through we were missing five in Emer, Lucia, Ciara, Nicole and Kim and simply did not have enough strength in depth to threaten the more settled Foxrock team who had won the Championship two years ago. No worries, we have a great talent coming through and will be building on this years achievements. Well done to Dave McEvoy, Brian, and Declan for the leadership.

We would appreciate if this notice could be posted onto our website as soon as possible to get the names of the girls in as soon as possible.
Syls Minor Girls – An excellent League campaign...
Nuala & I had the privilege of looking after this year’s Girls Minor squad. We were placed in Division 2 which was always going to be a stern test with such a young Minor squad – only 6 of the 24 players involved were 2nd year Minors.
Ladies win Championship first round
There was a nail biting finish to this game in the first round of the Championship against Clanna Gael Fontenoy, but it was not the scoreline that caused the angst, Syls winning comfortably in the end by 4-17 to 4-9, it was the light.
Dublin Ladies just pipped by Cork
Ladies NFL Final The Dublin Ladies were just pipped by Cork by a single point in their first ever National League Final in a cracking game at Parnell Park on Saturday. Great credit is due to the girls and our own Sinead Aherne who had a great second half and Niamh McEvoy who covered every blade of grass. The girls should be very hopefull for the Summer based on this display.
Ladies chalk up another impressive win
Our Senior Ladies footballers continued on their winning way with a convincing win over Clanna Gael on a windy Wednesday evening in Broomfield on a scoreline of 5-11 to 1-8. Highlight of the evening was the 1-6 scoring contribution from Katie Slattery in the first half. But everyone on the field, including the subs that came on in the second half, made a contribution. It is probably unfair to single out individual contributions, as everybody played their part,
