Thanks to Declan McGrath & Niall Clarke - Senior Hurling Team Coaches
Declan McGrath and Niall Clarke have informed the club Executive Officers of their decision to step down from managing the St Sylvesters Senior Hurling team with immediate effect. On behalf of the whole club we would like to thank them for their huge commitment over the last three years the highlight of which was securing promotion to Div 2 in 2018 and retaining that status in 2019. They leave hurling in our club in a stronger place. Expressions of interest for this position are now invited by email to Secretary.stsylvesters.dublin@gaa.ie before 22nd November, 2019.
Personalise your water - stocking fillers!
Further to a good initial response from the teams Shay Early & John Dunphy, coaches with our younger boys teams have launched these reusable & personalised Syls water bottles. They’re eco-friendly and ALL profits will be given back to the teams on a unit sold basis, €4.50 profit per bottle! The project aim is to reduce use of single use plastic bottles in Broomfield and reduce the number of other water bottles being left behind after training sessions and matches. They’re also an ideal Xmas Stocking filler! See details>>
