U12s win over Cuala - U10s go close with Whitehall
The U12s had a great one point win over a highly rated Cuala at Bridgefield on Saturday morning. The U10s went down narrowly to a Whitehall side who recently won a national tournament in Newry.
Sinead Aherne nominated for All Star
Following her heroic performance in the All Ireland Ladies Final, Syls Sinead Aherne has been nominated for an All Star at the awards night in Citywest on the 13th November. We wish Sinead well as she seeks her second consecutive All Star Award. Interesting that a few lads commented that Lyndsey Davey from Skerries should have beent nominated. Tyrone thought she was Sinead's 'Terribe Twin' in the All Ireland Final., brilliant.
Girls U16 Championship
The U16 girls had another very good win in the Championship at home to Castleknock on Sunday. They are the only unbeaten team in the competition and have topped the Northside group. They now qualify for the Semi Final against the runner up in the south side group. Eddie
Ladies win over Man of War
Sorry Lads, the note about promotion was a little premature - we need a win from our last two games to be promoted. Niamh and Sinead returned to club action on Wednesday to help Syls gain promotion to Intermediate football with a good win over Man of War at Broomfield. Congrats to Brian and Dave McEvoy and all the girls on a great return for Syls Ladies.
U12bs footballers secure 2nd place
Our u12b footballers secured 2nd place in the league on Saturday by drawing away to St Brigids, we should have won the game but their keeper made some great saves to earn Brigids a draw. We finished behind O'Tooles who beat us before the Summer by 1 point in a very controversial match.
Another successful All Ireland 7's co-hosted by Syls
Saturday 25th Sept Syls successfully co-hosted the All Ireland 7's with neighbours Naomh Marnóg. I counted 8 pitches in Broomfield - over 90 teams attending. Big congratulations to Gerry, John, Suzanne, Angela, Adrienne, Carol, Liz, Brian, Redmond, Eddie, Anne, Martin and everyone who made it happen. I guess you will all see todays events at Croke Park as just reward - enjoy it all. Pictures from Martin Tracy
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.
All Ireland Ladies 7's
St Sylvesters are delighted to co-host the annual All Ireland Ladies 7's on Sat 25th Sept. All details here
U12 b's Beat Whitehall
Whitehall 4.2 Sylvesters 5.5 Our 12b's returned to action, winning a tough match against a strong Whitehall Team. The wind was a major factor and the lads had to work really hard in the 2nd half to grind out a victory, we defended with courage and discipline and moved the ball very well against the wind. Matthew Gannon came on as a sub and scored his first goal for Syls and it proved to be the crucial score of the match. Having already won the u12 cup, we are now chasing the league, currently in 2nd place with 2 games to play. If the lads keeping playing like this we should be in with a shout! Ciaran
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.
Is mór an onóir dom an Chorn seo a glachadh . .
. . ar son foireann Naomh Sailbheastar. And so it went 'as gaeilge' as Micháel O'Maoinaigh lifted the U12H Camaint Div 2 Cup for Syls after defeating St Johns Ballinteer at Parnell Park this afternoon. And Mickey had lots more to say for himself . . move over Joe McDonagh, there a new kid in town. John Drumm provided the pictures and Chris Kennedy the report on a great achievement for Syls hurling. Congrats to all the boys who never stopped hurling throughout the Summer. Well done to the lads who coach this team, they're great to watch.
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/
U12 hurlers host Cashel King Cormacs
Cashel won by a single point in a smashing game of hurling in Bridgefield on a magnificent Sunday.The highlights for me were a great point from David McCormack, couple of saves from Sean Drumm, Mark McCormacks catching and the overall high quality of the hurling. Well done to our parents for returning the hospitality shown to us when we visited Tipp a little while back.
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
U12s account well in U13 PJ Troy
Our U12 hurlers (with only 2 U13s) took up a vacant slot in the PJ Troy Div2 and accounted very well for themselves - won 1, drew 1, lost two - hopefully one of the lads will send some details.
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

Sylvester’s U12 hurlers were invited to take part in a tournament organised by Cashel King Cormac’s, with Knockavilla Kickhams also from Tipperary, Mount Sion of Waterford and Naomh Barrog from Dublin.
U12s in Ardara 2010
Anthony sent this team photo fro Ardara in Donegal, must be our 8th or 9th year to visit - hopefully we will see some more. I like the new shirts - is there significance to the left shoulder sash?
Seanna Reilly in All Ireland Final
Best wishes to Seanna Reilly from all in St Sylvesters, as she lines out for the Dubs U/14 Girls in the All Ireland Final against Galway on Saturday. Game is in Kiltoom, Co Roscommon at 3.45pm.
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.
