Senior Ladies win over Parnells in Dublin Senior Championship
Most enjoyable performance from our perspective. At half time we were calling it the Crossbar Challenge - I think Syls hit that bar or the post four times in the first half alone and Parnells hit it twice. Syls football was just brilliant, Nicole, Louise and Niamh knitting it all together, Kate Sullivan complementing Danny and Sinead up front, Anne Clarke hitting exquisite passes, Cliodhna Hammill a commanding fullback, Watch out for the next game, well worth watching. Mick sent a great report.
Senior Ladies outstanding against Clontarf
Syl’s Ladies are a bit like the girl in the poem, “when they are good they are very very good but when they are bad they are horrid”. In the League so far, they were very very good against a good Clanna Gael side and horrid last week against an ordinary Man o War. This week, they put on their best performance so far against a really strong Clontarf, winning by 1-16 to 2-8. And this was without the injured Niamh McEvoy and Nicole Owens.

To add to their woes, Kate Sullivan had to retire early in the first half with a recurrence of an earlier injury.

Sinead Aherne top scorer in Dublin V Galway NFL game in Parnell Park
Dublin Ladies suffered their second defeat in a row in the National Football League against Galway, scoring 1-14 to Galway’s 4-11.

The 2014 and 2015 teams will play an exhibition game in San Diego and this will be the highpoint of the eight day trip.

Syls girls lead as Dublin make a flying start to the league
Dublin scored 2.14 to Kerry's 1.06 in the first round match of the National League played in Parnell Park on Sunday. Dublin were by far the fitter and slicker team as reflected by the impressive score line. Eight Dublin players were on the score sheet. Nicole, Niamh and Sinead were all in the starting fifteen, what an honour for the club to have the highest number of players from one club in the starting fifteen. Niamh bagged two brilliant goals and in all the girls contributed 2.05 to the score sheet. Nice to see good Syls presence in the stands.
