Ladies Football
Big day for Syls as Dublin win the All Ireland
Sinead Aherne was Player of the Game with 2-07 (2-04 from play) when Dublin captured our first ever All Ireland Ladies title. Niamh McEvoy also looked very much at home in Croke Park when she came on in the second half, as did all the Dublin girls. See the report attached (from the Dublin Ladies website). The Ladies Section organised a bus so I'm sure there's a story lurking there somewhere.
Sinead Treacy captained Dublin Ladies Junior Team to All Ireland glory
Congratulations to Sinead Treacy who captained the Dublin Ladies Junior Team to All Ireland glory against Cork on Saturday. The Dubs were convincing winners and Sinead was inspirational as she skippered the girls to the title. Well done. Report from dublinladiesgaelic.ie
All Ireland Ladies Final
We're rooting for The Dubs and Sinead and Niamh in the All Ireland Final on 25th Sept - the girls need vocal support - BE THERE.

U16 girls win at Scoil in Championship
The U16 girls had a very good Championship win away to Scoil Uí Connaill on Sunday 12th September 2010. This U16 team is a development squad this year and they have only 2 actual u16 players for most of the year. They finished mid table in the League and now face Castleknock for a place in the u16 Championship Semi Final. Eddie
Syls Girls Back to Winning Ways
After the disappointment of last weeks championship final defeat, Syls senior girls got back to winning ways with a stylish 5 point win against Ballyboden in Broomfield. There were some super scores and super performances accross the team throughout the game. Well done girls.
Ladies lose in classic Junior Football Final
L JFC Final Raheny 7-07 St Sylvesters 6-07 Fantastic game of football in Swords this evening. Raheny led for most of the game but never by much in a game that ebbed and flowed and kept the big crowd entertained from start to finish. In game of two forward lines, Raheny just edged it with some brilliant scores but we were always in contention and great credit to our girls, they've had a fantastic return to Ladies Football and the great Syls turnout to lend support was a credit to the club - well done lads. Hopefully Brian will provide a report.
Big Week for Syls Girls
The Senior Girls team are penciled in to play their Championship Final on Wednesday, the 1st September against Raheny. Venue and time to be confirmed. In the meantime the girls will prepare for the big game, with a cup match against St Margarets away, this Wednesday. On the Inter County scene, it is a big week for our Dubs players. Niamh McEvoy & Sinead Aherne will travel to Carlow with the Jackies to take on Laois in the All Ireland Semi Final. Throw in is at 6pm. Sinead Treacy lines out for the Dublin Juniors against Galway on Sunday in Tuam, as they look to qualify for the All Ireland Semi Final. Best of luck to the girls in these big games and lets hope they return fit and raring to go for our big final a few days later.
Sinead contributes 2-4 as Jackies reach All Ireland semi final
The Dublin Ladies qualified for the All Ireland semi final with a 6 point win over Clare in Banagher yesterday. Sinead Aherne was obviously on fire - read the report on the Ladies Site - http://www.dublinladiesgaelic.ie/
Super Syls Girls Win Through to Championship Final
A game of two halves is an old cliché in football terms and that is certainly what we got on Kiltipper Road in Tallaght on Wednesday night. Syls & Davis had played each other on two occasions already this year with both sides having a win a piece, so this championship semi-final was always going to be a close affair.
Sinead Aherne wins another Leinster
Sinead contributed 5 points in Dublin's win over Laois at Carlow. I presume Niamh McEvoy was also involved - report at http://www.dublinladiesgaelic.ie/ - well done girls, the elusive All Ireland is back on the cards
Ladies lose to St Margarets - dents our league hopes
Ladies Div3 St Margarets 2-15 St. Sylvesters 2-7 First serious loss of the season but unfortunately it seriously damages our chances of winning the leaue. Two weeks time we play Championship. See GAA-PICS at http://gaapics.zenfolio.com/p56956305 for some nice pictures
Ladies Championship at Broomfield Wednesday 7.30pm
The Senior Girls Team are in Championship Action in Broomfield at 7.30pm this Wendesday against St Maurs. Following a hard fought victory away to Ballyboden last week, a win on Wednesday would see the girls progress to the championship semi-finals. This is the first chance for many of the club members to see the girls in action since re-forming senior football in the ladies section, so make a big effort on Wednesday to come up to Broomfield and cheer the girls on!
Syls Girls Championship Success Away to Ballyboden
The girls traveled to Ballyboden on Wednesday evening to kick off their championship campaign with a hard fought victory. The hosts had already beaten St Maurs in a 3 team group with the winners progressing to the semi-final. Only a victory would keep the Syls girls in the competition so it was a tough nights work ahead against a very fancied Boden outfit.
Sinead Aherne named in Leinster Interprovincial Championships Squad for this Saturday.

Syls Ladies win Top of the Table Clash
Syls Ladies traveled to Leinster Road in Rathmines on Wednesday evening to take on Portobello. Both teams were unbeaten in the league so far and this was going to be a tough battle on a tight and bumpy pitch.
Syls Ladies in League Action on Wednesday in Broomfield.
Syls Ladies aim to continue their winning ways in league action this Wednesday at 7pm in Broomfield. With two wins from two in the league they have been in excellent form with conviencing victories against Thomas Davis & Ballymun. This week they entertain St Marks so come on out and give them your support.
Syls Ladies win again
Adult Ladies continued their good start in the league with a convincing win against Ballymun away on Wednesday night leaving them with 2 wins from 2. All 20 girls contributed to the victory with notable performances from Aimee, Viv, Diane, Fiona & Niamh G. Biggest cheer of the night was raised for a cracking goal from Aisling Hughes making her Syls league debut. Next up is St Marks next Wednesday in Broomfield at 7pm.
Ladies win first league outing
Syls 4-11 Davis 0-6 - We were starting a new season with many of the girls wearing the Syls Jersey for the first time or the first time in a few years. This was a cup match and we were also due to play Thomas Davis the Following week in a League game. Syls were back to near full strength in the league game April 12th 2010.
Ladies debut on Wednesday - Broomfield or Kiltipper?
Our re-formed ladies team make their first competitive outing against Thomas Davis this Wednesday evening - the venue is in doubt due to the bad weather.
Nicole Owens lines out for Dublin Minors
Best wishes to Syls Nicole Owens who lines out for the Dubs Minor Team on Bank Holiday Monday, against Westmeath in the Leinster Championship. Nicole has represented the Dubs girls at U14 & U16 level and makes her minor debut at midfield. No doubt she will be displaying her skills for the Syls Ladies Team in Broomfield over the coming weeks.
Syls v Syls ladies - Syls win
The New Syls Ladies Team played our U16girls team on Sunday 14th March in Broomfield. I know this Senior team very well as no fewer that 11 were on my U16 Championship/League double winning panel in 2002. Many of the rest were on the team that reached the Junior Championship Final in the same year.
Game on - the girls are back!
Thirty four quiz teams showed up in a packed house on Friday night to raise funds for the re-formed ladies football team. Pat O'Byrne did the quizzing, Brian Sullivan squeezed every last penny out of a lively auction and the girls were great hosts for the evening. Great start to a new chapter for Syls and there is surely lots more to come. Thanks to all who sponsored and supported. Syls Abú.
