Reports on all Ladies and Girls teams
.
Minor Girls going well
The Minor Girls team had two great wins over the past couple of days. After losing the first match away to a very strong Fingallians side a few weeks back they played Raheny in Broomfield on Sunny Saturday and won the game by 12 points Syls 4-7 Raheny 1-4. They traveled to the other side of the Estuary on this cold wet windy Monday night where they beat St Pats of Donebate St Pats 0-1 Syls 0-4. The girls did not have a single official Minor Player (DOB 1994) on either night and they showed a great fighting spirit to win both games.
Adult Ladies Win in Inter League
The adult ladies intermediate team had a conviencing victory against Lucan Sarsfields in Broomfield on Wednesday evening. A great work ethic across the team mixed with some super scores in both halves never left the result in doubt. Final score, Syls 6-10, Lucan 1-7.

U14s leave it too late
U14F Div1 St Sylvesters St Johns Balinteer WE ere two points up at the break against the wind and, by all accounts, looking the stronger team. Nobody told Johns, however, who came out in the second half playing some fabulous football and knocking up 3-02 without reply before we got ourselves going again.
U9 girls make their debut
Syls U9 girls played their first matches Sunday morning at a sun drenched St Brigids. They competed brilliantly in a 4 team blitz and the future looks very bright for this group of players. Thanks to Ernie and Bernard for pictures
Scoil Iosa Ladies Football
Scoil Iosa Senior Girls Gaelic Football Team & Mentors in Broomfield today Friday 23rd March 2012. They lost to a very strong Loretta Steven's Green Team in a Challenge game today. Loretta are a very strong team and most of their players are much older.
Young Syls and The Dubs
Best wishes to Sylvester's Louise Ryan who lines out today for the Dublin U16 girls in the Leinster Championship v Wexford. Stephen Cunningham, Conor Ryan and David Sexton have all been playing well with the Dublin Minor Footballers while Kevin O'Flynn has been playing with the Minor Hurlers. 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.
U13s and U14s get together for Cup football
With it being a hurling week-end and our 14 football team getting a bye in the first round of the U14 Football Cup , Syls u13s and u14s footballers played a challenge match in The Castle on Saturday afternoon. We had about 45 players and all players got a decent run. This will prepare our u14s for the cup competition and also help to integrate the both u14s football teams and u13 footballers for the Feile. Better than any training.
U14 hurlers win well at Judes
U14H Div2 St Judes 0-06 St Sylvesters 4-12 Always good to start the league with a win but we were surprised at the margin over at Tymon against a Judes team that have beaten us in recent years.
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.
Tough loss U14A
U14 Div1 We lost by a few points to Clontarf in Bridgefield in a fine looking game that went from end to end with good scores on both sides. This difference I suppose was a couple of goals for Clontarf, one from a penalty, in the second half against some real quality points from the Syls lads. I think we will be a little disappointed, might have won it.
Juvenile Section looks back - looks forward
A very lively Juvenile AGM last night chaired by Ernie Brenner and ably abetted by Juv Sec Pat Hoyne looked back at very successful 2011 and forward to 2012. Pat and Ernie are staying on for 2012, Club Chairman Eddie Sullivan and Bar Manager Gary Penrose addressed the meeting and all representative positions were filled. Read Pat's report attached, it captures a very busy section and acknowledges all those that make it happen.
Syls Girls To Line Out For Dubs

U13 hurlers finish strong
U13H Div2 St Sylvesters 7-10 St Judes 2-06 Third in Div2 is a good showing for our u13s after a very strong second ha;f against Judes. It didn't look so good at half time with Judes gaining some dominence in the second quarter but we came out very strong in the second half.
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.
