Syls and Vincents moved to 2.00pm
Surely at my prompting . . .the Senior game v Vincents has been moved to 2.00pm . . .. guess we've no excuse but to get back and support the inters at 4.15pm in Broomfield.
Championship fixtures already . . .

U13s and U14s get together for Cup football
With it being a hurling week-end and our 14 football team getting a bye in the first round of the U14 Football Cup , Syls u13s and u14s footballers played a challenge match in The Castle on Saturday afternoon. We had about 45 players and all players got a decent run. This will prepare our u14s for the cup competition and also help to integrate the both u14s football teams and u13 footballers for the Feile. Better than any training.
U14 hurlers win well at Judes
U14H Div2 St Judes 0-06 St Sylvesters 4-12 Always good to start the league with a win but we were surprised at the margin over at Tymon against a Judes team that have beaten us in recent years.
Syls first ever Ladies Minor Football Team
A lot of work has been done over the past number of weeks to enable Syls to enter our first Minor Girls Team in the History of the Club. They already have had a number of training sessions and many of players who have represented this team going back to 2005 are coming back. This is a very heartening development.
Football roundup
The seniors got back on the winning trail with a fine one point win over a strong Ballymun Kickams at Broomfield. We were six points to nothing down early but fought our way back to a 2-08 to 0-13 win. The Inters suffered their first defeat of the year away to Castlenock but the Junior As had a great win away to Parnells to preserve their unbeaten run and great start t 2012 - Shane and Declan are certainly doing a good job in training both junior squads as the Bs also had a good draw against Plunkets.
Two wins and a draw in hurling - a first for Syls
The Inters started their league with a comprehensive win over Good Counsel while the Junior As fought hard for a draw at Whitehall and our first ever Junior Bs won away to Peregrines.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 4th March
Our sincere thanks to the Malahide Lions Club for their generous sponsorship of the coach for the social initiative trip to Croke Park on Monday March 5th. Over sixty people are taking part in the trip.
Junior Bs snatch a draw
Sheridan Cup St Sylvesters 1-13 St Oliver Plunkets ER 2-10 The Bs were the comeback kids again this week, trailing by 6 with about 15 minutes to play, a goal and a point from Conor Meehan, points from Keith Rossiter, Mark Woods brought us level, Plunkets pointed a free and Meehan pointed for us at the death to draw a game we could have won but, then again, we could have lost.
U12 footballers win two of three
Great turnout again this week for the U12 Footballers as 39 players making up 3 teams met at 11 this morning for a further weekend of grading at this level.
U16 hurlers win in the league
U16H Div3 St Sylvesters 2-14 Commercials 1-10 Good home win for the U16s against a strong commercials outfit at Bridgefield. The game started pretty slowly for both teams with Syls lreading 0-9 to 0-5 at the break without either team really breaking sweat. Ronan read the riot act at half time and the Commercials guy must have copied him because both sides came out flying for the second.

Four Syls hurlers in Fingal NHl win
FINGAL 1-13 LOUTH 0-12 I see four Syls hurlers played in the NHL 3A win over Louth - Andrew Richardson, Alan Morris, David Keogh and Hillary Murray Hession. I think Martin Ormonde is out injured at the moment. Pretty
Seniors lose league opener to Plunkets
AFL1 St Sylvesters 0-07 St Oliver Plunkets ER 0-12 I only saw the first half and was disappointed to hear the final score as I thought we were really going to put it up to Plunkets in the second half. This looked more like championship football than most of what I saw last year. Plunkets, with most of their star players on show, starting at a fierce pace and grabbing three points before we got up the field at all. Fair play to our defence with Cian Cleere leading by example, we stood up strong and contained them until our outfield got into the game.
Inters win away to Whitehall
AFL3 Whitehall Colmcilles’ 0-8 St Sylvester’s 1-6 The intermediates put up a goal and four points early on and defended really well to record an excellent win. This is becoming a really good story about mixing youth and experience . . . . the story about this game was Keith Galvin's wonderful control and distribution and John Peacock stepping up from Minor and looking like a serious senior player.
Juvenile Hurling opening day at Bridgefield
Saturday morning was a hive of hurling activity . . . . U10 two games v Whitehall, U11 two games v St Marks, U12 smashing game v Ciarans . . . . the U8s were away and U9s at the Castle . . . . well worth dropping by on a Saturday, lend a bit of support to all the new players and managers (some not so new)
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 26th February
Peter McGarrity won the trip to Cheltenham. Thank you to everyone who supported this great event. Les O Shea earned the top seller award. Open mike night on Thursday nights in the club is attracting a loyal following. There is a great variety of very good quality performers on show and it is well worth a visit.
Junior Bs great comeback at Peregrines
AFL9 St Peregrines 1-08 St Sylvesters 1-12 First half was backs to the wall stuff, Peregrines midfield calling the shots despite the best efforts of Reidy and McGinty, but not capitalizing on their chances. Eoin Kelly floated a free into their box for Chris Corcoran to bury, Conor Meehan hit two good points and we only trailed by two at the break. The second half followed the same pattern for a while and when Peregrines goaled it looked bad for us at five points down.
U12 hurlers rally for a great draw
U12H St Sylvesters 3-08 Craobh Ciaran 4-05 After trailing badly at half time the U12s put in a great second half to draw against an excellent Craobh Ciaran team who exhibited some great skills themselves. Liam óg Foley was dispatched to full forward and contributed two or three goals, the last one a top drawer volley (His father must have promised to let him drive the big tractor).
Sweeney and Coughlan win Sigersons with DCU
Congratulations to Gary and John on helping DCU win their third Sigerson with a pretty emphatic win over Maynooth in Galway today.
Syls U12 Football - Update
Well done to everyone for a great afternoons football last Saturday. We fielded 38 players across the 3 teams so it was great and to see all the lads getting full matches which is the main objective this year.It is important for their development to get as much "game time" as possible and of course they really enjoy being on the field and playing with their mates.
Syls entering third hurling team
Syls are looking to welcome any additional players. The Third team is for skilful players who don't have the time to train and for younger fitter players who are developing their skills. Players of all levels are wellcome of course as the first and second teams are not closed shops. Anyone interested in playing or assisting please contact Gary Plunkett at 086 389 4411 . . .
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 19th February
We got another four cup wins from the adult football teams for the second week in a row. The league starts next week with the senior team at home to St Oliver Plunkett’s on Sunday morning at 10.30am. The intermediates are away to Whitehall Colmcilles at the same time. Also on Sunday the junior 7s are at home to Starlights at 11.00 am and the junior 9s are away to St Peregrines at 15.00.
Sweeney misses famous DCU win in O'Byrne Cup
After contributing well to getting to the final it was a pity that Gary missed a famous victory fo rthe DCU students over Kildare in the O'Byrne Cup Final at Portlaois on Friday. They are still in the hunt in the Sigerson.
Four wins in Cup Football
The footballers continued the positive start to the year with four more wins in their respective cups - VdeP over Fingal Ravens, Joy Cup over St Vincents, Parsons Cup over Plunketts and Sheridan Cup over St Annes. The Junior Bs traveled to Bohernabreena, never an easy venue to visit, and led from start to finish without ever looking quite safe, winning 2-08 to 0-09.
U16s lose in the league
Unfortunately both U16s lost on Saturday, the A team to a more direct Scoil Ui Conaill team at Bridgefield while the Bs travelled to Lucan but went down to a strong Sarsfields in a high scoring game.
Trip to Croke Park for Malahide Seniors - all welcome

We would welcome participation from everyone and we wish to emphasise that it is not exclusive to GAA members. You are welcome to bring along your spouse / partner / friends. Non-members are very welcome
Junior hurlers had a great win over Na Fianna
Corn Fág a Bealach St Sylvesters 3-11 Na Fianna 3-6 It was a great second half performance with two excellent goals from the marauding Barry Cowley, some great long range free taking from Stephen Keogh, a “Lar Corbett” point from out on the side line from the never retiring Claude Scully, an equally fine point from Breandán Flood on the other sideline. Killian Kirrane was chasing like a novice and did some brilliant defending. Paul Christie put in big shift and he got a hatrick of hooks in one passage of play alone. There were a good few old hooks on the sideline as well enjoying a great performance on a lovely morning in the Castle. Danny and Jim are still weaving the magic. Brilliant.
U8 footballers make their debut
Our newest U8s played opened their campaign with two three team competitions against St Margarets and Naomh Barróg in the Castle on Saturday. I only caught the second set of three games against Barróg but it would be nice to hear from Shay or some of the lads about our newest upcoming stars.
Four Syls to start against Cork
Syls ladies top the table on Sunday as they provide four in the starting line up against All- Ireland champions Cork in round 3 of the National League. Sinead Tracey again fills the full back position, Niamh McEvoy faces the challenge of going toe to toe with player of the year Juliette Murphy at midfield. No pressure Niamh! Nicole Owens partners Sinead Aherne in the full forward line. What a historic day for the club. Kick off is 2.00p.m. in Ballyboden . Do support the girls and the club in Sunday. .
Alan Morris captained Fingal to Kehoe Shield success
A good day for Fingal and Sylvesters hurling winning our first silverware I think. Great for Alan Morris to captain the team and Hillary in goal. Andrew Richardson, David Keogh and Martin Ormonde also feature regularly with Fingal. Thanks to Danny for the picture
U16s win over strong Ballymun
U16 Div2 Ballymun Kickhams 3-13 St Sylvesters 5-9. Syls U16A continued the season in winning form with a hard fought battle against Ballymun Kickhams. Initially the match was scheduled to be played in Albert College Park, but as the pitches were not playable it was switched to Ballymun Kickhams home ground on the All Weather pitch.
Laura Brennan Charitable Trust - Gala Evening 2012

Juvenile results 9th 10th Feb
Lot of fixtures washed out at weekend. Our results were as follows:
Syl's Ladies make it four!
A remarkable milestone was reached on Sunday last when four players from Syl' s Adult Ladies team, featured on the Dublin Ladies Senior team which defeated Meath in a tightly contested game in Ashbourne. The starting line up included Sinead Tracey at full back, Niamh Mc Evoy at full forward and Sinead Aherne at corner forward. Nicole Owens made her debut at Senior level when she came on as sub in the second half. Meath as always dominated in the height department and in the physicality of their game. Sinead Tracey was more than equal to the challenge in the back line and the absence of any goals from Meath tells its own story. The forward line had to contend with a Meath sweeper and a heavy pitch so space was at a premium. Dublin looked the stronger team and deserved their three point victory margin. A good day out for Syls ladies, recently promoted from Junior to Intermediate level.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 12th February
Bord Na Mona Kehoe Shield Senior Hurling Final Fingal 4-11 1-14 Armagh Alan Morris captained Fingal hurlers to success in the Kehoe Shield Final today. This was a great honour for Alan and the Fingal Hurlers and a proud day also for St Sylvester’s.
U21 hurlers lose to Kevins at Dolphins Barn
U21CHC Syls 0-10 Kevins 3-09 VdeP cup Syls 1-11 St Vincents 1-08 Joy Cup Syls 2-08 O'Dwyers 0-03 Sheridan Cup Syls 1-07 Castleknock 1-05
Adult footballers start with 4 wins
The seniors won by three points over Vincents in the V de P cup at Broomfield. With no county players on view it still looked like a lively affair with Vins leading by a point at the break after a stealing a goal. The Junior 1 team, under new management of Shane Cowley and Declan McGrath also beat Vincents on pitch2 in the Parsons Cup
Bon Voyage to Darragh McGrath
He's been fundraising for weeks now, cycled for four hours in Malahide yesterday raising another €800 and today played a solid game at corner back in the Sheridan Cup win. Tonight he heads off to Chernobyl with the Adi Roche Foundation and we congratulate him and wish him well.
Fundraiser for Chernobyl
Darragh McGrath who represented Sylvester’s & Dublin as an escort in last year’s Rose of Tralee is running a quiz to raise funds for Chernobyl children this Friday night February 3rd at 7.00pm. He will be visiting Chernobyl in February with Adi Roche’s Chernobyl Children’s Charity. You might see a Rose or two too!!
There's a bit of a buzz about
Things seem to be going well around the club these days - nothing in particular, just a lot of small things but they sure add up. All of our football and hurling teams are up and running, training, playing challenge games, lots of expectation. The Juvenile season kicked off this weekend with lots of encouraging Syls displays. Plenty of our lads involved at College and County in Sigerson, Trench, O'Byrne Cups (good luck to Gary Sweeney on the DCU team in the Final). The girls also back in training and with a great representation at county level.
Peadar McGarrity RIP
St Sylvesters would like to express our sympathies to the McGarrity family on the passing of their father Peadar, a great supporter of Syls who will be sadly missed. Funeral arrangements attached.
U16Bs open with a big win
The U16B team, disappointed to be graded in Div7, opened their season with a high scoring win over Erin go Bragh in Broomfield.
Syls Girls Star For the Dubs
The Dublin Ladies Senior Football team kicked off their Division 1 league campaign with a comprehensive victory away to Kildare last Sunday. Syls Niamh McEvoy lined out at midfield and put in a great performance throughout the match, scoring 1-4. Sinead Aherne was at her usual best in the full forward line and put 2-3 past the Kildare defence. Sinead Tracey came on at full back for the 2nd half and played a tight game to limit the Kildare scoring power.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 5th Feb
Under 21 C championship semi-final St Kevin’s V St Sylvester’s in Dolphin Park next Saturday, February 11th at 14:30. We put in an excellent performance to defeat Setanta in the quarter final. The other semi final sees Naomh Mearnóg play Clontarf. Please come along and support. Cup games start for adult football teams next Sunday.
Footballers prepare for 2012
All four adult teams stepped out this weekend - the seniors had a good win over Seneschalstown, The Inters entertained Vincents on Staurday (I didn't hear the result), The Junior A team had a good win over Peregrines while the Junior B had a good game losing by a couple of goals to strong Trinity Gaels.
Tough loss U14A
U14 Div1 We lost by a few points to Clontarf in Bridgefield in a fine looking game that went from end to end with good scores on both sides. This difference I suppose was a couple of goals for Clontarf, one from a penalty, in the second half against some real quality points from the Syls lads. I think we will be a little disappointed, might have won it.
U16s looking much better this year
U16 Div2 St Sylvesters 4-09 Whitehall Colmcilles 0-02 Last week our U16A Football team had a warm up friendly against Castleknock which they won convincingly and showed a lot of promise by all the players that took to the field. This week once again Syls U16A did not disappoint with a home fixture against Whitehall in windy conditions.
Juvenile Section looks back - looks forward
A very lively Juvenile AGM last night chaired by Ernie Brenner and ably abetted by Juv Sec Pat Hoyne looked back at very successful 2011 and forward to 2012. Pat and Ernie are staying on for 2012, Club Chairman Eddie Sullivan and Bar Manager Gary Penrose addressed the meeting and all representative positions were filled. Read Pat's report attached, it captures a very busy section and acknowledges all those that make it happen.
Syls Girls To Line Out For Dubs

Sinead Treacy, Niamh McEvoy and Nicole Owens have all have joined Sinead Aherne on the Dublin Senior Football Panel and line out against Kildare this Sunday in the National League Aimee Hazely & Lisa McIntyre are back training with the Dublin Junior team this weekend Kim White has been selected on the Dublin Minor panel for 2012, even in her 1st year as minor Louise Ryan has been selected for the Dublin Under 16 Squad 2012 And finally Danielle Lawless will line out for the Dublin under 14 team in 2012 Well done to all the girls on their selections and best of luck with the Dubs in the season ahead
u21Hurlers win over Setanta
U21C C'ship (2011) St Sylvesters 1-09 Setanta 0-06 Plucky display by U21s against a Setanta outfit with a number of county players on show. Key to the win was a very strong defensive display. Andrew Richardson back to his best in the middle and an interesting full forward line of Fionn Carney, Kevin O'Flynn and Shane O'Connor. Declan Ryan provided the picture and promised details. Thanks to John Keogh for the pics.

Seniors lose late in semi final
AFL1 SF St Judes 0-10 St Sylvesters 1-04 A point down with 10 minutes remaining, we were well in control but on a very greasy surface we just couldn't convert our dominance into scores. Six attacks ended with wides from frees and play and Judes broke away to score two fine points. We weren't finished and two more attacks yielded an open goal chance for what could only be described as a 'YouTube' moment that saw our chance of an equalizer skid off the boot up and wide and, with it, our 2011 AFL1 aspirations.
U11s get ready for 2012 - Notes for parents
For the 2012 season the U10s are now the U11s. Training will change to 6.15 (sharp) until 7.30pm every Tuesday (hurling) and Wednesday (football) on the old Rugby pitch at the Back Rd, Malahide. We would encourage as many children as possible to join our Club and all new members are very welcome. We have been most encouraged by the numbers now attending games & training.
Juvenile Committee AGM
The Juvenile Committee AGM this year will be held on Wednesday 1st February 2012 at 9 p.m. in the clubhouse. The first order of business will be the election of officers for the coming year. Nominations are thus invited for all positions namely:

Thanks also to Mel, Francine and managers who alerted members of the time and date Brian
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 22 January
AFL1 league semi final St Sylvester’s V St Jude’s in Parnell Park on Wednesday 25th January at 7.30. This is a repeat of last years final pairing and Na Fianna play St Oliver Plunketts in the other semi final. We have waited a long time for this fixture and we need to get out and support our team in the biggest game of the season. Following on from last years victory reaching another final would be a great milestone of consistency.
AFL 9 FOOTBALL TEAM
As all members will be aware the club will be holding it's 3rd annual Players Awards Night this Saturday. What not so many members will be aware of is that while we are all rightfully celebrating and rewarding the efforts put in throughout 2011 by our adult players we are in grave danger of having to pull one of these teams out of the 2012 competitions. This is not because we don't have the player numbers but because nobody in the club is prepared to help manage this team for forthcoming season.
Rules and league information for U12 Football 2012
A few documents from John explaining the rules, fixtures and initial gradings for U12 football for 2012 - hope you have a great season lads.

He scored 4 points including 3 points from play in the first half and a second half free in what was a brilliant performance. Dublin had a 7 point victory and go forward to play UCD in the quarter finals.
The “Handsome Devils” and beautiful football.
The Brendan Mullarkey Memorial Trophy brought out enough hardy souls for a four team competition in Gannon Park yesterday. Declan McGrath and Philip O Connor organised and pay to play funds went to the Nicky Cleere Trust. The more experienced players were divided up and complemented by the younger players who could actually run and play the game. Niamh McEvoy and her friend played some beautiful football but were hampered by the lack of mobility in their fellow teammates. Rueben Kirrane scored a superb goal against the eventual winners but again some of the “more experienced” players on his team failed to perform on the day.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 1st January 2012
The first trophy of the year has already been won. The Brendan Mullarkey Memorial Trophy brought out a fine collection of youth and “experience” to play soccer in Gannon Park today and also to raise funds for The Nicky Cleere trust. Brendan’s wife Anne presented the trophy to the winning manager Brendan “Don Revie” Bannigan whose modest acceptance speech was as beautifully crafted as his team’s Barcelona like victories. There are unconfirmed reports that senior club officials have already made “approaches”. Many thanks to everyone who supported the event and especially to the Mullarkey family. Brendan’s spirit lives on. It was a very enjoyable day.
Carneys have a night out
Margaret arranged a surprise family celebration in the club a few weeks ago. Both Margaret and Brendan are great workers and supporters of Syls while Aaron, Fionn and Jake are all pretty handy players. Gary does a good job with the function room, it's a great venue for a party.
Good turnout for Stephens Day Hurling
Maybe the good weather helped, maybe the recent good displays, whatever, over 40 hurled this morning, including a few senior footballers, U13's, 15's and 16's, a few visitors and mostly our Inter and Junior teams.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 18th December
Nollaig shona daoibh go léir agus Athbhlian faoi shéan is faoi mhaise daoibh. The club wishes all the members, mentors, players, volunteers and sponsors a very happy Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
U15 hurlers award night
The U15 hurlers celebrated another year in hurling with our annual award night, this time hosted by Dave Potts at The Scotch Bonnet beside the club on Church Road. This years awards went to Karl Archibald, Shane Nangle and Matthew RoseNell but there were plenty lads highly commended for a good years hurling and here's looking forward to U16 next year.

Minors 'pipped at the post' for the league title
MFL1 Final Ballyboden St Endas 3-05 St Sylvesters 2-07 What a shame for our fine Minor team, we led from the start and looked for most of the game like we would win our first Div1 title in a long while. We played with a mild but bitter wind in the first half, few nice points , flick by Meaney to Mark Hazely for a nice goal, solo effort from Fionn for a second and we led by 2-03 to 1-01 at the break.
St Sylvester’s GAA club notes 11 December
MFL1 Final Ballyboden St Endas 3-05 St Sylvesters 2-07 We couldn’t be more proud. Let’s celebrate them, their courage, skill and commitment, individually and collectively. All year in both football and hurling these players have given us the most memorable and inspiring performances and delighted us every time. This was another heroic effort from a magnificent team that lead almost all the way. One point was the difference in the end. Well done to everyone involved. You were brilliant all year and a joy to behold.
