UNDER 12 GIRLS GOING WELL
The U12 Girls football team continued its 100% start to the season with a hard fought win over St Brigids on Sunday evening in Broomfield. St Brigids started the game brightly with a couple of points before Syls got into gear with a couple of well taken goals. The second half was very tight with Syls being the stronger team but we found it hard to shake of a determined St Brigids team. As has been the case in all our games so far, we finished stronger and ended up with a five point win. This was a fine performance from a very committed panel of players who play an attractive brand of football and whose season is progressing nicely.

The match hero was Lisa Murphy and what a blinding game she had scoring all but one point, 3-5, of the syls scores. Lisa has played the last few games in goals and her performance out-field on the half forward line was nothing short of spectacular.
