Girls Girls Girls - Calling all Malahide GirlsGirl’s football in Dublin has grown rapidly in the past few years and the numbers now playing each week in St Sylvester’s is proof of that. We now have over 150 girls playing on teams in the club. In 2010 the club will be fielding juvenile teams from U 9 to under 16 age groups in both league and championship competitions Bridgefield Campaign Update.As most people are aware December 18th was the closing date for submissions by the public on Fingal County Councils proposals for Bridgefield. We can now tell everybody that the total number received was 1238 with the overwhelming majority of these statin their opposition to the proposals. Of this total 1012 came from the petition day in the village and also from the letters that were collected in the club Hurlers finish the year in styleIt was only fitting that we have a broad representation of the club hurling fraternity in action for our 23rd Annual St Stephens Day Hurling - from Eamon McLoughney U11 to Pat Kennedy(1965 minor) and many shapes and sizes in between. It was a smashing bright morning but very hard and slippery underfoot and it was a blessing that we escaped without any injuries. A number of footballers chanced their arm today - a stylishly dressed Aiden Relihan, a fit looking Rory Costello (out of Africa I believe), Peter O'Byrne impressed and more. 23rd Annual St. Stephens day Hurling matchThe most competitive hurling fixture of the year takes place in Broomfield on St. Stephens day. On display will be the 4 Hurling trophies won in 2009 – U15 B Champions, JHC & Leinster Junior Champions and Minor Hurling League. All club members are welcome to join in the fun and festivities with past and present are all invited to tog out.

Under 13 Girls Finish League in StyleU/13 Girls - St Brigids 1-13 St Sylvesters 3-7 The U/13 girls finished their league campaign on Sunday last with a very credible draw against St Brigids in Russell Park. St Brigids needed victory to secure a league play-off with St Perigrines, but the Syls girls destroyed their plans with a fantastic display. Missing 8 regular players from the squad, the team were ably supported by some of the up and coming stars from Shane Cowley's U/11 team and they did themselves proud U15B Footballers leave it too lateU15 Div4 St Sylvesters lost by 3 points to Kilmacud Crokes. We finished a very good season with a few goals from Paul McBride and Collie Byrne but had left it to late to overhaul a big deficit from the first half. Pat Brennan and Des O'Toole have had a great year with these lads, good run in their championship and a strong following from their parents, will be even better in 2010. Minor hurlers take league titleMHL Div4 St Sylvesters 2-8 St Vincents 1-6. In an almost forgotten league, Syls beat our arch rivals St Vincents in a very entertaining game at Broomfield. We started very slowly (not surprising as, except for yesterdays U16 game we haven't played for months) but got ourselves into the game, scored couple of goals from U16s Thomas Richardson and Gareth McGrath and were pretty comfortable in the end. Special word of congratulations to Declan Morris and Niall Clarke who have worked with these boys for the last 9 years - nice to finish on a win. Club and Coaching notes

The under 14a team got off to a blistering start, scoring 7 goals against Ballymun Kickhams.

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.
