Best wishes to Sylvester's Louise Ryan who lines out today for the Dublin U16 girls in the Leinster Championship v Wexford.

Great stuff, good luck to you all.
Ladies update
Another great weekend of results for sylvester's girls at both club and county level. Under 12 & U13 girls both had great league wins against Oliver Plunketts & Skerries. At Co level Kim White starred for the Dubs Minors in a big win against Louth. Our senior players travelled north to take on Donegal Ladies and came away with a big win and the points. Sinead Aherne bagged 2-5, Niamh McEvoy scored a goal and Nicole Owens got her first point for the senior Dubs. Sinead Tracey was rock solid at full back. Well done to all on another great weekend.
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.
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. .
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.
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.
Syls Girls To Line Out For Dubs
The number of Syls girls lining out for the Dubs continues to grow in 2012. 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

Syls Ladies Leinster Junior Champions
Congratulations to the girls on winning the Leinster Junior Football Title at a wet windy Newbride yesterday, St Sylvesters 4-10 St Lawrence’s 0-18. By far our toughest game to date, the Kildare team had some very classy forwards and most of their scores came from open play. The girls were delighted with the traveling support from Malahide and look froward to an even bigger following to Aherlow (or thereabouts) in Tipperary for the All Ireland Semi Final in two weeks time.

As usual, there was brilliant support from Sylvester's club members across the club to ensure that we put on a good show. I would like to pass on a huge thanks to Mick Stewart and Enda for their preparation of the pitches and dressing rooms. To Suzanne, Carol Morris, Louise, Liz, Susan, Margaret Carney, Carol Ryan, Carol Walls and Jan for the catering. To Gerry, Noel, Karl and Redmond for manning the car parks. To Anthony Cooney for his huge support again this year. To Paul Reinhart on maning the electrics and John Daly on the clean up operation.

Girls take the Junior Championship
LJFC St Sylvesters 6-09 St Maurs 4-06 Congratulations to the Sysl Ladies taking the Junior Championship after the second attempt since re-forming. Nine points looks like a good margin but it was a lot closer for much of the second half and the girls had to dig deep to overcome a plucky Maurs side who played some fine football and were back to three before we finished it out with three points and a goal. Congratulations to Sinead Aherne awarded Player of the Game. Well done also to Aimee Hazely, Syls captain, who gave a very gracious acceptance speech. See attached report and pictures.
