U14 Girls – Div 3 League Champions
After many years of looking after Boys teams, I took my first steps at the beginning of this season into the ‘scary’ world of Girls Gaelic football. I jest of course. At the beginning of this season I took over as Manager of the Girls u14 football squad. The squad only has 7 actual u14 players but thanks to the help of the u13 squad we had a group of 18 or so extremely talented footballers. Once I got over the shock of the chitter chatter (my goodness girls do like to talk) we embarked on our journey together. The season started really well with comfortable victories over Na Dubhgall, St Finians and Parnells. Next up were a home and away fixture versus St Peregrines and these 2 games were to prove to be our stiffest test of the season.
U16 Div 2 League Final

UNDER 13 GIRLS FOOTBALL
Syls U13 Girls continued the good league performance with an impressive away against Ballinteer St Johns. This win secures Syls position in the Top 4 playoffs in a very strong Division 1 league. The play-offs will be very tough against the cream of Dublin U13 football, Foxrock / Cabinteely, Ballyboden and Kilmacud but they deserve the opportunity. The girls have performed brilliantly since gaining promotion last year and this dedicated squad continue to progress in the right way.
U16 girls second in Div2 - 3 on Dublin squad

We also had great wins at U 11 & U 12 with both teams reachinng championship finals. Our u16 team had a great run this year also but lost out in the Championship to Cula in the U16 semi final.

UNDER 12 GIRLS GOING WELL
The U12 Girls football team continued its 100% start to the season with a hard fought win over St Brigids on Sunday evening in Broomfield. St Brigids started the game brightly with a couple of points before Syls got into gear with a couple of well taken goals. The second half was very tight with Syls being the stronger team but we found it hard to shake of a determined St Brigids team. As has been the case in all our games so far, we finished stronger and ended up with a five point win. This was a fine performance from a very committed panel of players who play an attractive brand of football and whose season is progressing nicely.
U14G Round Towers Lusk/St Margarets 2-6 St Sylvesters 3-6
Syls U/14 Girls made it wo wins from 3 in their U/14 league game on Sunday afternoon away to Round Towers Lusk/St Margarets. The match hero was Lisa Murphy and what a blinding game she had scoring all but one point, 3-5, of the syls scores. Lisa has played the last few games in goals and her performance out-field on the half forward line was nothing short of spectacular.
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.

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
