Games reports
Minor hurlers pipped by Barróg
MHL D2N Naomh Barrog 4-5 vs 0-14 Clan na Mara Disappointing result having started well, points from Eoin Mc, Simon, Shane and Rory going 4 points up into the wind but then we stopped dead in our tracks and let Barróg take over for 3-03 to 0-06 at the break. We were much more competitive in the second half, Sean Dolan, Scrappy, in particular and the two Killians driving us forward.
Championship Draws
Couple of tough looking local derbys here . . . Maurs, Kickams, Clontarf in football, Whithall, Finbars, Isles in hurling . . .
Scoil Iosa Girls on winning the Dublin Senior Ladies Schools Final
Congratulations from all in Syls to the Scoil Iosa Girls on winning the Dublin Senior Ladies Schools Final against St MacDaras Community College, Templeogue. After a very tense first half and the teams level at the break the girls had to work hard in the second half to secure victory and a Leinster Final clash against Gorey CS on Tuesday 11th March at 1pm in Emmets GAA Grounds in Bray.
U13 football and hurling update
It was a busy weekend for the U13 hurlers and footballers of St Sylvesters. On Friday night we held the presentation of 2013 Football league medals for Divisions 1 and 5. We had players and families along and hopefully this is the first of many medal presentations we will be doing with these squads over the coming years.
Hard fought Junior Hurling win
***Hard fought win in poor conditions** 2nd March 2014 AHL6 - Civil service 1-5 v Syls 1-6 Islandbridge The score line tells the story of how poor the conditions were but certainly not the effort put in by both teams. Early on, Service coped better and moved into a 1-4 to no score lead after 20 mins before Syls began to exert some influence, Conor Dwyers move to midfield tipping the balance in Syls favour, it yielded 2 frees which Pat Hoyne duly converted with his usual aplomb ! HT score 1-4 to 0-2.
Inter Hurlers open with a draw at Vincents
AHL3 St Vincents 2-09 St Sylvesters 0-15 For the second week in a row we drew at PNU. A fair result I would say after a very good game. Vincents opened strongly ad threatened to blow us away leading 1-04 to 0-01 a couple of Ormonde frees steadied us, Alan, Kevin and Killian got to grips with the middle and Andrew up front and we were were three down at the break.
Minor As just pipped at Fingallians
MFL Div2 We lost our first outing by a single point over in Swords. Padraic was a little disappointed, felt we might have stole it in the end. The Minor Bs were disappointed to get a walkover from O'Dwyers.
Minor hurlers disappointing opener
MHL 2 Clan na Mara 0-07 Whitehall Colmcille 1-11 First outing for the amalgamated Syls Scoil outfit but Whitehall were too strong in the important departments, got the goal straight after the break and held us out for the remainder. Defensively we were solid, Barry Cushen made a few important saves while Sean at fullback and Andrew and Fhelim in the half line won their battles. We could have scored more and been closer in the end but Whitehall, who have always hurled in Div1 looked to have more class.
Compulsory mouthguards
Following the introduction of new rules in relation to mouthguards for Gaelic football in 2013 and 2014, it is now compulsory for all juvenile and adult players (excluding adult females) to wear mouthguards when training and playing games.
Poor start kills the U16s
U16F Div2 Three early goals caught us flat footed on the all weather at Ballymun and we just never quite recovered. We played into a strong cold wind in the first half and battled back gamely, dominating the second quarter but didn't convert enough on the scoreline. We came out strong in the second half but, again, didn't convert enough to dent Ballymuns lead, missing goal chances an both posts and the opposing keeper making a few great saves.

St Sylvester’ GAA Club notes 2nd March
AHL3 St Vincent’s 2-9 St Sylvester’s 1-12 The intermediate hurlers got off to a great start with a battling performance to gain a draw away to St Vincent’s. Most heartening was the appearance of Fionn Carney and Niall Coughlan playing on the same pitch where they played senior football last week.

St Sylvester’s GAA club notes
AFL1 St Vincent’s 3-7 St Sylvester’s 0-16 This was a great result for the team and the new management. In very blustery conditions we put up some very good scores with Michael McCarthy prominent and excellent performances from all the players. There will be disappointment that we didn’t come away with all the points.
