Is mór an onóir dom an Chorn seo a glachadh . .
. . ar son foireann Naomh Sailbheastar. And so it went 'as gaeilge' as Micháel O'Maoinaigh lifted the U12H Camaint Div 2 Cup for Syls after defeating St Johns Ballinteer at Parnell Park this afternoon. And Mickey had lots more to say for himself . . move over Joe McDonagh, there a new kid in town. John Drumm provided the pictures and Chris Kennedy the report on a great achievement for Syls hurling. Congrats to all the boys who never stopped hurling throughout the Summer. Well done to the lads who coach this team, they're great to watch.
U12 hurlers host Cashel King Cormacs
Cashel won by a single point in a smashing game of hurling in Bridgefield on a magnificent Sunday.The highlights for me were a great point from David McCormack, couple of saves from Sean Drumm, Mark McCormacks catching and the overall high quality of the hurling. Well done to our parents for returning the hospitality shown to us when we visited Tipp a little while back.

For 20 mins we defended our goal with Daniel Deneher keeping out all attempts on goal with a very solid performance. With 5 mins to go to half time there was still no score then Sean Meehan broke through to score a goal and a minute later followed up with a point.

U12bs Qualify for Semi Finals
Our U12b Footballers qualified for the semi finals by beating a very tough Man O War team away. They have topped their group losing just 1 game. This was a great team display and was about effort rather than skill as there was a strong breeze blowing down the hill. Everybody did their job and we managed to win 3.9 to 1.6 . I think our training is starting to pay off as we played against the wind we needed to rely on our support play to move the ball up the pitch. Well done to the players who have worked very hard. Roll on the semi's

The 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.
Syls U12A Footballers return to winning ways
Played 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.

Syls U12's put in another fine display of team work and support play. All the hard work in training is starting to show with all the players improving as we play our games each week.
