Games reports

Junior Football Medal Presentation

Congratulations to our Junior A team on a very successful year winning the B Championship and gaining promotion to Division 5. Dublin great Ciaran Whelan (Declan McGrath called him one of the two best mid-fielders of the modern era alongside another friend of St Sylvesters, Dara O'Shea) presented the medals and we thank him for taking the time to visit Syls. In a very nicely managed event Shane did a lovely pen picture of each of the lads, Declan McGrath recounted the three year journey from Div 7 and many of the incidents along the way, Tricky set out the challenge for the coming season, Niall Kelly was awarded Player of the Year to a resounding applause and the place was decorated with some great pictures to remember the successes. Maith sibh go léir.

Extra time in Stephens Day Hurling

Not really, just felt like that in the most miserable conditions we have had for this St Sylvesters Annual Hurling tradition. Fair play to the lads, they didn't shirk it (lots did actually stay in bed but the picture tells the tale) and we had Brian McCafferty running rings around Tony Cooney, Conor Hoyne doing the running for Pat, Barry Crosse and Dara McLoughney impressing Leonard, we had three O'Connors and three Kennedys still competing and many of our own diaspora (including Dave Keogh home from Calgary) still able to swing the camán.

Anthony Dunne - Grassroots Keeper of the Year

A nice and well deserved recognition for Anto gaining the AHL3/4 award from Grassroots in Coppers the other night.

U9s end of year party

Farewell and thanks to Garry Penrose

There was a nice reception in the club last night to bid farewell and thanks to Garry Penrose (pictured with Declan Hetherton, Eddie Sullivan and GV Wright) who has stepped down as Clubhouse Manager after six years at Syls. In that time Garry has trained a huge number of staff in bar and catering work and has presided over countless great nights at Church Rd, my own favourites being the Awards Night in 2014, the fully catered 60's night for Casa and some great victory parties.

Garry can be found at the centre of MIdlands entertainment at the Bridge House in Tullamore and we wish him and his family every success and happiness, go n'éiri libh.

Big year for Syls Hurling

A great turnout for the Minor Hurling fundraiser last night. Syls are facing into Senior Hurling League for the first time, have a third adult team and, for the first time ever, we have hurling teams at all age groups thanks to a good Academy program over the last five or six years and to Jimmy Deneher and John Crosse stepping up to the challenge at U16. Good luck to all, we are looking forward to another great year of hurling and hopefully a little 'silver' excuse for celebrating.

Syls sign Robbie Keane

Well, not really, but the American Major League Soccer MLS Player of the Year Robbie Keane dropped by Broomfield for a gentle jog with our senior footballers.
