Ladies win against Clontarf
Our Senior Ladies footballers got off to a good start with a Cup win over Clontarf in their first match of the season on a score line of 0-9 to 1-4.

There were impressive performances from some of the older players like Jackie Costello playing in goal, unbelievably for the first time,

Syls u16 Girls – A disappointing end to the Championship ...
Timmy, Nuala & I had the pleasure of managing the Girls u16 squad this season. We didn’t participate in the League and only came together during the summer for a ‘crack’ at the Division 2 u16 Championship. As soon as the Leagues finished we got a group of 21 players together and started our preparation. All through the summer the numbers attending each training session were really encouraging. A number of practice matches (including a memorable trip to St Laurences of Kildare) and we were ready for Championship.
