Syls girls do well against KerryGreat to see our own Niamh and Sinead put in great displays for the Jackies in the comprehensive 5-17 to 1-6 win over Kerry in the Bord Gais National League played in Naomh Mearnog this afternoon. Both girls contributed handsomely to the scoreline with Niamh taking three excellent goals while Sinead scored a total of 1-7. In the next round of matches The Jackies play again in Naomh Mearnog next Sunday against Monaghan. Under 12 Girls Start Well.The U12 Girls started their league campaign in a chilly Broomfield on Sunday evening with a hard fought but deserved win against Skerries Harps. Syls were stronger in the first half but only were a point up at the break having missed some good chances. The second half was very even but some great defending by our backs kept Skerries out and gave us the opportunity to move forward late in the game and run out four point winners. Syls U14 Girls start League Campaign With a VictoryThe U/14 girls took the short trip to Fingallians on Sunday afternoon to kick-start their league campaign and came away with a very satisfying win. This was a really close battle from start to finish with both sides exchanging early scores. After a shaky start, the girls got their rhythm going with the half-back line of Lucia Huges, U15 hurlers too strong for TowersOur U15 hurlers won their opening game of the season in Div2 with an impressive win over Round Towers Clondalkin at Bridgefield. The win was built on strong displays from Cian McCann at fullback, Simon Owens, Alan Kavanagh and the sharp looking Jordan Lawless at full forward. U12 hurlers host St John's and Na FiannaThe U12 hurlers hosted a mini-tournament with Naomh Eoin from Belfast and Na Fianna. I only saw some of the Syls Johns game. It was a treat to watch the northern lads hurl. They were much smaller than our team but their skills were superb. Hopefully John will send a short report. Minor Bs secure a draw against strong RavensSyls 3.10 Fingal Ravens 4.7 - Syls Minor B's played our first competitive game against a strong and physically bigger Fingal Ravens side.Our Syls Minor B team is an u17 team so we expect to come up against bigger teams and that's exactly what we got against Ravens. Fantastic U16 debut in Div1 hurlingSt Sylvesters 3- 11 Lucan Sarsfields 1-6. On our first match out of the season and after being promoter to division one this year, we gave a fantastic display of hurling against a highly rated Lucan team. Syls girls in Dublin Kerry gameNiamh McEvoy is in Dublin starting 15 for to- morrow's match against Kerry in Portmarnock. She joins Sinead in full forward line. Nice to see two Syls ladies start for Dublin Seniors. The throw in time is 1.p.m. Ladies Gaelic site errors, it gives it as 2. pm start. U14 hurlers kick off with a winU14 hurlers had a fine 3-09 to 1-06 win over Nmh Olaf in Sandyford in our first outing of the year. The win was built on a fine defensive display by Simon Owens, Thomas Colclough and Eoin Kennedy in goal and a tight full line of Jake Fricker, Gavin Mulligan and Ciaran Casey/Eric Ryan. Up front, Paul Ryan continues to improve, Colm Boran was flawless from frees and Sam Horan got an early goal and a smashing point. U11 footballers win over AshbourneSome of the most impressive juvenile football I have seen in Syls for a long while, the U11s had two good wins over an equally fine Ashbourne teams. I must get some reports on these lads from Brian Barnes, Paul Reinhardt or John Cross, they are a well kept secret but well worth watching both Syls U11 teams. Syls U12A Footballers return to winning waysPlayed in the splendid surroundings of Bridgefield on a bright spring morning Sylvesters U12’s returned to winning ways in this cup match. This victory was built on the back of some wonderful defending. Philip Ryan returned to shore up the fullback line and he had an outstanding game alongside his namesake Eoin, who played superbly.

Message from IrishRial re Malahide ViaductThe intensive stress testing of Malahide Viaduct has been declared a success, many thanks to all the shoppers heading to Newry for the cheap beer. Nearly a great All Ireland . . .nearly!!The first half was cracking . . .one of the best halfs ever . . . the Ref hardly blew in the first twenty minutes and it looked like Gaelic football should do. Unfortunately Mr Duffy found his whistle, giving the Kerry defenders a lot more leeway than the Cork lads. The second half was more like the Cork/Tyrone second half, Kerry containing and Cork running out of ideas - I don't understand why they don't use Cousins more. And Kennelly, lucky, lucky!! Tom Sullivan my Man of the Match - Tommy Walsh was magnificent. I can't believe it's not Kilkenny - Cork girls look ominousCongrats to Clare winning their first All Ireland U21 Hurling - they have been entertaining all year - can you believe the Cats only took one from three finals. Cats having won 4 from 4 finals last year have actually only got 1 from 5 finals !! this year. They won the the big one, lost four finals, minor to Galway, u21 to Clare, Intermediate to Cork and camogie to Cork. The Double Quadruple dream in tatters !! Hurling Final . . .a real pity!Pity, a moment of madness by the referee robbed us of one of the most spectacular hurling finals probably ever played. Totally absorbing, titanic effort by Tipperary to overcome the mighty Cats . . . working harder, winning more ball, just short a forward to make the difference . . then a really crap penalty decision just blew it . . . and we missed the finale the game deserved. County scene coming to a headThe lads were quite magnanimous to Down after they picked our pockets in the All Ireland Minor quarter final. While they felt Down were the better team on the day they also felt more than a little miffed that the ref called two minutes of overtime but played almost four to let Down steal the win with a last gasp goal.
