I hear congratulations are in order for dual star Mannix Ryan and his lovely bride Sinead who tied the knot in the Dordogne in France on Saturday while another Syls stallworth, Nicky Cleere, was Mannix's best man. Best wishes lads.
Dermot Gilson RIP
Funeral Arrangements - 11.00am Wednesday at St Sylvesters Malahide and Fingal Cemetary - House Private We were all shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Dermot Gilsen, father to Syls players William and Niall. Our sincerest sympathies to Chris, Grainne, Robin, Evelyn, William and Niall. Dermot was always available to help out at football and hurling games and he will be sadly missed around St Sylveaters and the village. On Saturday night at the club Joe Fortune asked for a round of applause for Dermot who showed great interest and always had a word of encouragement. Ar dheis Dé Dermot go raibh do anam, you will be missed.
