CITY SENIOR HURLING LEAGUE: Patrickswell Senior hurlers open the new season with a home fixture against Na Piarsaigh on Saturday April 6 at 6.30pm

CITY JUNIOR A HURLING LEAGUE: Patrickswell welcome St. Patrick’s in the first fixture of the 2024 season on Sunday April 7 at 12 noon.

FEILE: Our U-15 hurlers performed admirably at Limerick Feile and were pipped for a semi-final berth. The opening match against Pallasgreen was neck and neck, but our opponents won with the last puck of the game by 1-8 to 2-4. Patrickswell then recorded two consecutive victories of 0-6 to 0-3 over Kildimo-Pallaskenry and 1-11 to 0-6 over Hospital Herbertstown. The final group match against Adare was the decider. Unfortunately our neighbours were in great form and Patrickswell lost out by 1-12 to 0-4. Hard luck to the players and management.

CON AND ANNIE KIRBY MEMORIAL STAKES: Our two nominated greyhounds qualified for the third round of the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial Stakes. There are now 24 dogs remaining.

CLUB LOTTO: The Club Lotto draw on Monday March 25 was not won. The numbers drawn were 1, 9, 22 and 31. The bonus number was 6. The €100 Lucky Dip was won by Pat Davoren and the €20 prizes were claimed by Carmel Roberts, Kay Allen, Denis Daly, PJ & Aoibhin O’Grady and Ciara & Grace. This week’s jackpot is €9,200.
