Dessie Farrell's Dublin Minors retained the Leinster Minor League with three Syls lads in the starting linup - Stephen Scuby Cunningham, Dave Sexton and Conor Ryan. Kevin O'Flynn lined out at midfield for the Minor Hurlers in their win over Limerick. Nice to see Conor and Kevin out with our own minors on Sunday at Finbars.

Minor Bs spectacular comeback
Well done to St Sylvester’s Minor B team who completed a spectacular comeback to beat St Vincent’s in a keenly contested match in Broomfield. At one stage Syls trailed by 6 points in the second half but a great team performance saw them winning by a deserved 3 points.
Minor As impressive over Vincents
Both Minor Football teams played Vincents in Broomfield this morning. The As really opened up in the second half after being held to a single point at the break. Defensively we were always on top with Conor Quinn solid at fullback, Stephen Cunningham and Jack Hazely commanding in midfield and Conor Mullarkey and Mark Hazely very lively up front. Yet again we have high expectations of our Minors.
Scoil Iosa go down to Knockbeg in Leinster Senior Colleges
Leinster Colleges A 2nd Rd Knockbeg Col Carlow 0-12 Scoil Iosa 1-06 Played at Dr Cullen Park in Carlow on Friday, Scoil Iosa made up mostly of Syls Minors made a good comeback early in the second half with a goal from Conor Mullarkey and points from Fionn Cahil and Mark Hazely but Knockbeg regained control and qualified for the 1/4 finals.
Minors 'pipped at the post' for the league title
MFL1 Final Ballyboden St Endas 3-05 St Sylvesters 2-07 What a shame for our fine Minor team, we led from the start and looked for most of the game like we would win our first Div1 title in a long while. We played with a mild but bitter wind in the first half, few nice points , flick by Meaney to Mark Hazely for a nice goal, solo effort from Fionn for a second and we led by 2-03 to 1-01 at the break.
Syls in Minor Football League Final Div1
I haven't seen an official fixture yet but I do believe we are playing fo rthe league next Sunday at 11.00am at Sancta Maria in Ballyboden. I have attached a map so we have no excuses but to get over there and support our team
Minor 4B league slips away in cold wind
MFL 4B Final St Sylvesters 2-7 Craobh Ciaran 2-12 Great season for our Minor B team, going through the league with 100% record but unfortunately just running out of steam late in the second half of this final at Broomfield. We led at half time by a few points but facing a cold wind and a very classy Ciaran's centre forward we failed to take our few chances and Ciarans finished strongly. Maybe Ger or Pat will send some details . . .think I saw John with the camera as well.

Minor Hurlers win C Championship in style
MHC C St Sylvesters 3-11 Raheny 1-13 Although 3-11 sounds like a good score the reality was that this win was built on a couple of early goals and some superb defending in the second half into the wind. See Eddie's report and thanks to Eddie, Colm, Martin, Declan and Declan and all the players for a few very enjoyable games, it was great stuff lads, well done. Great support on the line surely helped the lads along as well.
Scoil Iosa win Dublin Colleges Senior Hurling B Title
Scoil Iosa 3-12 Confey 2-02 Fine colleges win for Scoil Iosa fielding mostly Syls Minor and U16 teams from last Sunday, Mark Hazely and Paul McBride two additions (and a lad from Vincents). Sean Kane laid down the gauntlet early with another of his trademark bustling runs yielding a great goal and Kevin O'Flynn catching all round him and deadly from frees. Confey had a few excellent hurlers but we had much greater strength in depth, and, while never totally dominant, always looking the likely winners.

Minor hurlers win in a thriller
MHC C St Sylvesters 2-19 Kilmacud Crokes 3-11 AET When Colm Byrne picked out Sean Kane who goaled for Syls to lead for the first time with minutes remaining it looked good for our lads. We repelled Crokes attack twice but then they goaled off a broken ball in our square and, well, it didn't look quite so good. We didn't despair, Brendán put the ball in deep, Byrne won a 21 yard free and Flynn equalised to take us to extra time. Great stuff.
Minor As win well over Raheny
MFL1 Syls 2-6 Raheny 1-04 - Super 5 point win over a very strong Raheny which puts us top of MFL1 and may be enough to win us the league or at least a playoff with Boden. It was a very impressive, if sometimes frustrating, display by our lads, dominating the play for most of the game but slow to make it show on the scoreboard. Both teams played extra men in the backline so it was difficult enough to see what was really happening.
