Development Draw Saturday, 10th of May 2008 After winning the County Féile
title, the planning stage for the All-Ireland competition has begun. The Under
14 hurlers and team management are travelling to County Offaly in June to
compete against the very best young players in Ireland. Organising the trip
requires a significant degree of time, effort, coordination and funding. In the
coming weeks, there will be a considerable drive to organise the logistics and
raise funds. Patrickswell GAA club welcomes the community’s assistance to send
the boys to Offaly in the best possible manner. Saturday, 3rd of May 2008 It was a weekend of great success
for Patrickswell GAA and its members. In the Féile County Final, the Under 14
hurlers produced a determined performance to defeat a much-fancied Adare side.
Cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd, the ‘Well started strongly and took charge
in key areas of the pitch. However, the first half could not produce a decisive
goal as both defences held firm. Patrickswell claimed a four-point advantage
with accurate shooting, while limiting Adare to a single point. The half-time
score was 0-5 to 0-1.
Saturday, 26th of April 2008 The Under 14s booked their place
in the Féile County Final with victory over Doon. Patrickswell dominated the
early exchanges and scored two points before a long-distance shot found the net.
Doon’s attacking chances were restricted as Patrickswell’s defence held firm. At
half-time, the ‘Well held a 1-6 to 0-1 advantage. Doon were revitalised at the
beginning of the second half and cut the margin with two goals. However,
Patrickswell held their nerve and a late goal secured the win. The result was a
2-9 to 2-2 triumph. The Féile final against Adare is on Saturday at 2pm in
Bruff. Saturday, 19th of April 2008 After their success in the Féile
championship, the Under 14 hurlers returned to action within 48 hours of lifting
the trophy. In the Christy Ring Cup, the boys lost to Mungret by 3-3 to 1-2 in
the opening fixture. There are three pool games remaining in the competition and
the players still have ample opportunity and preparation time to reach the
final. Saturday, 12th of April 2008 The first silverware of the season
was captured when the Under 14s triumphed against Ballybrown in the Féile
hurling final. Patrickswell started brightly and scored an early goal inside
five minutes. Assisted by a strong wind, the boys dominated the opening half in
every section of the pitch. Superb points were struck from distance and goal
chances were taken emphatically. At the interval, Patrickswell led by eight
points. However, the boys knew that Ballybrown remained a major threat,
especially with the wind in their favour. In the second half, the boys
maintained their lead and limited Ballybrown to a handful of points. At the
final whistle, the ‘Well had secured a 4-4 to 1-5 win. Congratulations to the
players and management for crowning such a successful campaign. There are high
hopes that this crop of players can develop into the stars of the future. Saturday, 5th of April 2008 At the Scór Munster Final in
Killarney last Saturday, Michael Shinnors was victorious in the Recitation
category. Michael produced another superb display to take the honours. The club
and village are very proud of Michael’s continued success. Let’s hope that a
national title is next in line! The Set Dancers performed admirably on the
night, but were pipped for first place. Congratulations to the Set Dancers for
reaching a provincial final and representing Patrickswell with distinction. Saturday, 29th of March 2008 The Under 14 Féile hurling
competition reaches its conclusion when Patrickswell meet neighbours Ballybrown
in the final. This local derby is scheduled for Mungret at 2.30pm on Saturday
29th March. In the campaign so far, the boys have chalked up two emphatic
victories against St. Patrick’s and Mungret. Please come along to support the
players on their big day. Saturday, 22nd of March 2008 Patrickswell GAA is delighted to
announce that Bridget Mann is the Club Person of the Year. At an event in the Cú
Chulainn last Saturday night, Bridget was acknowledged as the outstanding club
participant of 2007. The Minor Team collected medals in recognition of their
success in last year’s County Championship. Congratulations to Bridget and the
Minor Team for their respective achievements. We hope that they can emulate
2007’s performances this year. Saturday, 15th of March 2008 The County Championship medal
presentation for Patrickswell’s Minor Team will take place in the Cú Chulainn on
Saturday 15th March at 9.30pm. This event honours the team’s magnificent
achievement in last season’s competition. In addition, the Club Person of the
Year will be announced. Please support the players on their big night. There
will be food and music and everyone is welcome. Saturday, 8th of March 2008 Patrickswell under 21s were beaten
by Kilmallock in the county final at Bruff. Despite a brave performance by the
‘Well, our players could not halt a late surge by our opponents. The opening
half saw Patrickswell grab the early initiative, but Kilmallock responded
quickly to lead at the interval. In the second half, the sides were evenly
matched for long periods. However, Kilmallock stepped up the pressure and took
their chances in front of goal. The final result was 4-12 to 1-9. The club is
proud of the players and management for reaching the county final. There is
every confidence that the under 21s can return to win the championship next
year. Saturday, 1st of March 2008 The Under 21s booked a place in
the Championship final with a comfortable twelve point victory in Bruff. Bruree
dominated the opening stages, but Patrickswell’s first goal sparked a period of
dominance. Our players scored 2-6 without reply in a fifteen minute spell before
the break. At half-time, the ‘Well led by 2-8 to 0-4. A third goal appeared to
end Bruree’s resistance, but our opponents trimmed the margin to eight points at
one stage. Patrickswell made sure of victory with a few late points to triumph
by 3-15 to 0-12. Congratulations to the players and management and best of luck
in the final on Sunday. Saturday, 23rd of February 2008 The draw has taken place for the
2008 Senior and Intermediate hurling championships. Our seniors will face the
eventual Divisional winners. At intermediate level, Patrickswell have been drawn

have a successful campaign.

In perfect conditions at the Gaelic Grounds, the home team secured a 15-point victory in a high-scoring league match. Brian Murray kept goal for Limerick, while Richie and Gary encouraged from the sidelines. The next match is a stiff test against our neighbours from Tipperary. We hope that the league campaign acts as a springboard to championship success. Saturday, 9th of February 2008 The under-21 hurling “A”

under 16 hurlers who gave a very brave performance against Na Piarsiagh in the
County Final on Sunday October 14th. From the goalie to the corner forward, each
player played their heart out. Early in the first half we were denied two goals
by two great saves from the Na Piarsaigh Goalkeeper. This unfortunately was a
sign that luck was not going to be on our side on the day. Unfortunately the
physical strength of Na Piarsaigh told in the end, with the final scoreline 2-6
to 2-11. Well done to all the players and mentors for the great effort and
commitment they put in during the year. On Saturday 13th, our Intermediates retained their intermediate status by beating Feohanagh on a scoreline of 4-6 to 1-13 in Kilmallock.

venue & time details and please go along to support the lads. Saturday, 6th of October 2007 Our Under 21 hurlers
had an excellent 3-14 to 0-6 win over neighbours Ballybrown in the semi-final of
the City Championship. The game was played in the Gaelic grounds on Saturday
Sept 30th and as the scoreline suggests, Patrickswell were just too strong for
Ballybrown on the day. Next up for the lads is Na Piarsaigh in the city final.
Well done and best of luck to all concerned. Saturday, 29th of September 2007 Well done to our
under 16’s who had a great win over a very strong Newcastlewest team on Saturday
22nd. The match was played in lovely sunny conditions in Askeaton. Playing with
a strong wind in the first half, Patrickswell struggled to get the accuracy
required, missing a number of scores but crucially doing enough to stay in touch
with Newcastlewest. The score at half time was 1-1 each. Whether it was the half
time team talk or something special in the water, our lads came out all guns
blazing in the second half. Patrickswell played very disciplined hurling and
lead by 6 points at one stage. While Newcastlewest did manage to get a
consolation goal in injury time, it was not enough and the game ended with
Patrickswell 3 points ahead. The final score was Patrickswell 2-6, Newcastlewest
2-3. Patrickswell now meet local rivals Na Piarsaigh in the County Final. Date
and venue to be decided. The team was: David Carroll, James Keane, Niall Carrig,
Tom Kiely, Keith Hurley, Thomas Nolan, Mark Carmody, Sean O’Brien, Dean Cawley,
Kelvin Lynch, Breen O’Sullivan, Brian Buston, Jordan Delee, Nigel Foley, Kevin
O'Brien, Jonathan McMahon, Jack Kelliher, David Woulfe, Diarmuid Byrnes. Saturday, 22nd of September 2007 Well done to our
senior hurlers who beat Garryspillane on a scoreline of 3-15 to 1 -16 in the
second round of the County Hurling Championship last Sunday in Bruff. The draw
for the third round was made on Sunday night and Kilmallock were drawn to play
the ‘Well. It is expected this game will go ahead this weekend. See the GAA
fixtures section of the paper for further details. Saturday, 15th of September 2007 On Wednesday 5th our
under 16’s had a great 1-13 to 2-6 win over Na Piarsaigh to reach the semi-final
of the County Championship. Next up for the lads is Newcastlewest. The fixture
for the semi-final is still to be confirmed. Saturday, 8th of September 2007 Thanks to the
Limerick Hurlers and especially Richie, Gary, Brian, Barry & Eoin for giving us
a wonderful summer of hurling and for bringing great excitement back into
Limerick Hurling. Unfortunately Limerick came up against a very strong Kilkenny
team last Sunday, but hopefully Richie and all the team will be able to build on
their achievements for next year. Saturday, 1st of September 2007 In what has been a
magnificent year so far for Limerick Hurling, the biggest hurling event of the
year takes place next Sunday in Croke Park when Limerick take the field against
Kilkenny in the All Ireland final. Patrickswell GAA would like to acknowledge
the contribution of Richie, Gary, Brian, Barry & Eoin to Limerick’s success this
year. Patrickswell is proud to have them as clubmen. A mention also for Munget
man David Bulfin who is a teacher in Patrickswell National School. Patrickswell
GAA would like to wish these and all the Limerick players and Management the
very best of luck on Sunday. Saturday, 25th of August 2007 Our under 16’s were
very busy over the last week or so in the county championship. On Thursday 9th
they were away to Granagh-Ballingarry where they had a 1-17 to 1-11 win. On
Wednesday 15th they were away again, this time to Doon. Doon has always been a
tough venue to get a result from. On this occasion our lads came away with a
hard fought draw, 2-7 to 0-13. Their third match in 10 days was at home to
Mungret on Saturday 18th. This was another victory for the lads, winning 1-12 to
2-7. Well done to all concerned, lads and mentors alike. Keep up the good work.
Saturday, 21st of July 2007 Last week was a successful week for our minor and under 16 teams. On Wednesday our under 16’s had a comprehensive win over Ahane. The game was played in Patrickswell with a good crowd there to support the lads. Both teams played some excellent hurling with Patrickswell running out easy winners on a score line of 5-15 to 3-4.On Friday evening it was the turn of the minors. They travelled to Doon on what was a very wet evening. This didn’t stop our lads getting right down to work and they played some wonderful hurling in the first half to lead 1-10 to 0-3 at the break. In the second half Doon applied more pressure and the scores did not come as easily, but the lead the lads had built up in the first half was too much for Doon to overcome. The final score was Patrickswell 2-11, Doon 2-5. Another very successful ‘Cul’ Summer camp was held in the GAA field last week. Boys and girls were coached in the skills of hurling, camogie & football and they all enjoyed the week. Thanks to Pat Culhane and all the coaches for their effort. Photo: Boys and Girls from Patrickswell enjoying the GAA Cul camp last week.
Saturday, 7th of July 2007 On Friday June 29th our minor hurlers played neighbours Ballybrown in the minor championship. The game was played in Patrickswell in front of a good crowd of supporters. Throughout the game there was never very much between the teams. Patrickswell just managed to have their nose in front by a single point at the final whistle. Well done lads. A final reminder about this year's summer camp. The VHI Cul camp covers hurling, camogie & football and takes place between Monday the 9th and Friday the 13th of July between 10.00am to 2.30pm each day. Attendance is open to primary school children aged 7 years to 13 years. To register contact Michael Joyce or any team manager.

Saturday, 30th of June 2007 On
Saturday 23rd our under 12’s played Adare in the County Quarter final. The game,
played in Bruff in front of a loyal band of supporters had all the excitement of
the recent Limerick/Tipperary games. The game was played at a fast and skilful
pace from the throw in. Adare went into an early lead and led our lads by 2
goals at half time. The second half performance and comeback by the ‘Well was
something even the Limerick Manager, Ritchie Bennis would have been proud of.
John Touhy netted a goal on the stroke of full time to leave us leading by 3
points, but in added time, Adare scored their 3rd goal to leave it all square at
3-5 each. Like Limerick/Tipp, the game went into extra time with the strength of
Adare being the key difference. The final score was 3-6 to the ‘Well, 4-9 to
Adare. Saturday, 23rd of June 2007
Congratulations to our under 14 hurlers who had an excellent 2-7 to 0-9 win over
Mungret in the under 14 City Semi Final played last week. Our under 12's were
narrowly beaten by Mungret in the Under 12 City Final played in Kildimo on June
9th. In front of a very large attendance, both teams gave a wonderful display of
hurling, playing with skill, heart and determination. The first half was a very
tight battle with only a point separating the teams at half time. After the
restart Mungret scored two quick goals. While this set our lads back, they never
gave up. Each player gave everything they had and by the full time whistle had
reduced what was once a 10 point lead by Mungret to just 4 points. Well done to
both teams and thanks to all who travelled to Kildimo to support our lads. The
squad was; John Touhy, Aaron Gillane, Keith Dundon, David Considine, Scott
O'Riordan, Andrew Carroll, Barry Carey, Keith Cawley, Paul Joyce, Terrence
Buckley, Niall Carmody, Paul O'Brien, Dara Shanahan, Cian Lynch, Gavin Ryan,
Shane Joyce, Paul Bennis, Aaron Carmody, Shane O'Brien.

On Sunday 22nd our footballers
recorded a magnificent win over Mungret in division A of the under 12 Football
League. Mungret got off to a flying start, netting the ball early in the first
half to ease themselves into a comfortable lead. With our backs under pressure,
we were lucky not to go even further behind, with the woodwork saving us on a
number of occasions. Our lads kept plugging away and their hard work and
determination started to pay dividends especially in the second half with goals
from Aaron Gillane & Keith Dundon. This helped us turn a six point deficit into
a 3 point winning margin, the final score being 2-6 to 2-3. The team was John
Tuohy, Keith Cawley, Dara Shanahan, Shane Joyce, Keith Dundon(1-1), Paul Joyce,
Aaron Gillane (1-1), David Considine, Cian Lynch, Andrew Carroll (0-3), Niall
Carmody, Paul O’Brien (0-1), Josh Sayers, Dean Gillane, Terence Buckley, Aaron

Thursday, 5'th of May 2005 U 12 Footballers Win City League. Our U12 footballers won the City League beating Ballybrown 2-4 to 0-5 in a very exciting contest in Mungret on Saturday. We dominated the match early on playing some brilliant football and raced into an early lead courtesy of goals from Paul Joyce and Jack Kelleher. However, after a very slow start Ballybrown got back into the match before half-time and from there to the end it was backs to the wall as our lads defended bravely in the face of persistent Ballybrown pressure to run out five point winners. Players to catch the eye for Patrickswell were John Tuohy, Keith Dundon, Jack Kelleher, David Woulfe, Kevin O'Brien and Paul Joyce. The team and panel were: John Tuohy, Dara Shanahan, James Carrig, Keith Dundon, Thomas Kiely, Kelvin Lynch, John Long, Mark Carmody, Diarmuid Byrnes, David Woulfe, Jack Kelleher, Jordan Delee, Paul Joyce, Dean Shanahan, Kevin O'Brien, Cathal Bennis, Cian Lynch, Darragh Dundon, Cian Conway, Jason Carey, Keith Cawley, Lorcan Russell, Tim Dunworth, Colin Bennis, Seamus Crowe.

Na Piarsaigh were quicker to settle and raced into a 4 points lead after ten minutes. The 'Well came gradually into the game and we were just one point behind at halftime 0-5 to 0-6. We managed to race into a four point lead early in the second half, however an oppurtunist goal from Na Piarsaigh had the game back in the melting pot. Na Piarsaigh led with ten minutes remaining but two timely substitutions had the 'Well finishing the stronger to run out winners 0-16 to 1-9. Paul O'Reilly, Captain received the trophy. Our Intermediate Hurlers had mixed luck when we defeated Old Christians 2-14 to 1-8 in the City Championship and now meet Mungret in the Semi-final. However, we were beaten by Bruree in the A.C.L.

on Sunday last. Our lads started well and points from Sean O' Brien, Brendan
Buston and Lar Considine had us leading by 3 points to 1 after 15 minutes. Tom
O' Brien converted two 65's before Crecora responded with a goal to leave the
half time score 0-6 to 1-1. The 'Well stretched the lead to 3 points
with points from Bobby Harty and Thomas O' Brien. But once again Crecora
responded with a great individual goal to leave the sides level once more. Lar
Considine restored the lead with a 21 yard free and Thomas O' Brien added a
great point from play. Crecora though put everything they had into the last 5
minutes and it took two super saves from Jamie Daly in goals to keep our lead
intact. Final score 0-10 to 2-2. Both teams must be commended for serving up a
great game of hurling. Team: Jamie Daly, Paul Darcy, Gearoid Balfry, Nigel

Congratulations to our
U13 hurlers who won the city final last Monday. They triumphed over a very
strong Na Piarsaigh team. The match was very closely fought throughout. Na
Piarsaigh were first to settle and scored 1-1 before the 'Well rallied and
fought back to level it. At halftime the scoreline stood at 1-3 to 1-1 in
favour of Na Piarsaigh. Outstanding displays from Jamie Daly, Sean O'
Brien and Nigel Carey were matched by goalkeeper Jordan Delee who
produced a superb save midway through the second half which gave his team
the incentive to up their game. With time almost up the 'Well were
trailing by 2 points until Sean O' Brien was brought down in front of the
posts and a penalty followed. Nigel Carey stepped up from Centre-Back to
take it and duly rattled the net. Na Piarsaigh had no reply and the 'Well ran
out deserved winners 2-3 to 3-1. Team and scorers: Jordan Delee, Tom Kiely,
Jamie Daly (1-0), Keith Hurley, Dean Cawley (Captain), Nigel Foley(1-0), Jack

Our U14 Camogie Team
was most unlucky to lose the County Final against Galbally. In a
superbly contested Final at Granagh we went into an early lead thanks to two
Sarah Carey points from play and Erica Balfry pointed from a free.
Galbally played their way back into the game and it was level at Half
time. A superb goal scored by Erica Balfry after five minutes of the
second half put us into the driving seat, and we defended brilliantly from
there to the end. However, Galbally were awarded a free deep in injury
time and managed to score a goal to run out winners by 1 - 4 to 1 - 3.
There was a great turnout of parents and supporters and they were not
dissapointed by the display of hurling they saw from a great bunch of
girls and we look forward to following their exploits next year.
Team: Samantha Reidy, Nicole Lynch, Katie Murphy, Lisa Buston,
Mairead Buston, Tanika Delee, Erica Balfry(c), Jessie Kiely, Sarah Carey,
