Ladies Inter Football Champions
LIFC Final St Sylvesters 1-15 Parnels 2-08 Congratulations to girls winning the Inter Championship at the first time of asking over a very game Parnells. This was a really fine display by our girls whose movement around the field was very impressive. Niamh Mc was awarded Man of the Match and it was the most deserved award I have seen, she was magnificent, driving her team forward, contributing three fine points and popping up on her own goal line defending. Gabby was taking notes beside me but I don't think she will be allowed play on the lads team.

Ladies reach Championship Final in a cracker
Ladies Inter Championship Semi Final - St Sylvesters 2-11 Kilmacud Crokes 2-10 A late penalty converted by Sinead Aherne secured a marvelous win for the girls to reach the Championship Final against Parnells. It was a smashing evening with a good home crowd and a great game served up by two excellent teams where the lead changed hands several times. A sporting Crokes will consider themselves unlucky to have lost but Syls probably shaded it in possession, especially in the second half, and fought hard to snatch the win. Brian will send a report.
