SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell visit Monaleen on Tuesday April 28 at 7.15pm in the County League

JUNIOR HURLERS: The Junior hurlers suffered an away defeat to a strong Ballybricken Bohermore side in the County League. Our opponents surged into a 1-4 to 0-3 lead within ten minutes (Conor Robinson, Liam Fitzgerald and Andrew Carroll) before Patrickswell settled into the match and traded three points apiece (Liam Fitzgerald 0-2 and Andrew Carroll). There were 20 minutes gone and Patrickswell trailed by 1-7 to 0-6. Another barrage of one goal and three points without reply from Ballybricken Bohermore put them in control at 2-10 to 0-6. The first half ended with an exchange of two more points (Liam Fitzgerald and Andrew Carroll). The deficit was ten points, 2-12 to 0-8, and there was much work to do.

The second half began with our hosts extending their lead to fourteen points at 2-18 to 0-10 (Liam Fitzgerald 0-2). Patrickswell struck three straight points from Peter Harty 0-2 and Liam Fitzgerald, but the door was firmly shut by a third Ballybricken Bohermore goal and a fresh point. With 15 minutes left, we trailed by 3-19 to 0-13. Goals from Paudie Maher and Seanie O’Brien in quick succession sparked a revival that reduced the arrears to nine points at 3-19 to 2-13. While Nigel Foley and Seanie O’Brien struck more points, Ballybricken Bohermore added three of their own. Nigel Foley’s late third goal put respectability on a 3-22 to 3-15 reverse.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell recovered from a slow start to maintain a 100% record in the County League against Adare. Within ten minutes, Patrickswell were 0-7 to 0-2 behind (Patrick Kirby and Liam Fitzgerald). The game transformed when the ‘Well experienced a purple patch that yielded two goals and four points to a solitary Adare score. Rory Foley bundled home our first goal before Jason Gillane rifled home a blistering second goal. The other points were contributed by Patrick Kirby 0-2 and Jason Gillane 0-2. After 25 minutes, Patrickswell led by 2-6 to 0-8. Adare scored three consecutive points before Jason Gillane concluded the first half with a point. The interval scoreline was 2-7 to 0-11.

The first segment of the second half was finely balanced as the teams scored six points apiece (Jason Gillane 0-4, Hugh Maher and John Kirby). The game swung in Patrickswell’s favour with a barrage of five unanswered points from Liam Fitzgerald, Jason Gillane 0-3 and Hugh Maher. Patrickswell were now comfortably 2-18 to 0-17 ahead. The remainder of the match was level pegging as both teams were content with three more points (Patrick Kirby and Jason Gillane 0-2). Declan O’Grady’s men earned a valuable 2-21 to 0-20 win.

JUNIOR HURLERS: The Junior hurlers earned a solid win away to Garryspillane. Patrickswell began the match at a whirlwind pace which delivered six unanswered points (Peter Harty 0-2, Kieran Long, Liam Fitzgerald, Nigel Foley and Paudie Maher). Nigel Foley’s clever lobbed goal and further points from Liam Fitzgerald & Peter Harty created a sizeable 1-8 to 0-3 lead after twenty minutes. This lead evaporated within five minutes when Garryspillane stunned Patrickswell with two goals and a point. The nerves were steadied when Josh Carey grabbed a goal on the stroke of half-time to build a 2-8 to 2-4 advantage.

The early stages of the second half saw an exchange of three points apiece (Dayle McDonagh, Liam Fitzgerald and Peter Harty). John Long’s goal and additional points from Liam Fitzgerald and Nigel Foley established a nine-point lead of 3-13 to 2-7. Garryspillane responded with a goal and a point to cause concern. However Patrickswell finished strongly with points from Dayle McDonagh, Liam Fitzgerald, Nigel Foley, Peter Harty and Tom Nolan to ensure a 3-18 to 3-9 triumph. Their next scheduled match is away to Ballybricken Bohermore on Saturday April 25 at 7.00pm.

FEILE HURLING: Patrickswell were desperately unlucky to leave Feile 2026 empty-handed. The boys lost to a late goal in the opener against Newcastle West. History repeated itself in the second match as Granagh Ballingarry snatched a late winner to break Patrickswell hearts once again. Following a car journey to Adare for a 9.45pm start, the host club proved too strong for a battling ‘Well. Hard luck to the players and management. With a slice of luck  the outcome would have been so different.

CAMOGIE: The Camogie Club had a mixed week as the Junior ladies defeated Knockaderry, but the Senior ladies, Minor girls and U-14 girls lost their respective games.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell defeated neighbours Ballybrown to maintain a 100% record in the County League. Playing with a favourable breeze, we were 0-3 to 0-1 ahead after ten minutes (Jason Gillane 0-2 and Patrick Kirby). Ballybrown equalised shortly afterwards, but Cian Fitzgerald and Kevin O’Brien restored the two-point cushion of 0-5 to 0-3. We increased our advantage to 0-9 to 0-5 when Jason Gillane notched three points and John Kirby chipped in. Unfortunately Ballybrown dominated the closing stages of the first half. They scored three unanswered points and trimmed our lead to 0-9 to 0-8.

The early stages of the second half were keenly contested. Points from Dayle McDonagh, Kevin O’Brien and Jason Gillane were matched by Ballybrown. Then our hosts fired over two points to establish a 0-13 to 0-12 lead. Patrickswell responded with a flurry of five consecutive points from Jason Gillane 0-3, Kevin O’Brien and Hugh Maher. At 0-17 to 0-13 ahead, the match was intense. Ballybrown’s next point was eclipsed by a moment of inspiration by Josh Carey. A long ball dropped at Josh’s feet about 20 yards out. Josh spotted the Ballybrown goalkeeper advancing quickly and he kicked the sliotar powerfully into net from long range. Patrickswell were 1-17 to 0-14 ahead and we closed out the match with points from Patrick Kirby, Rory Foley and Jason Gillane to secure a 1-20 to 0-16 win. The next scheduled match is a trip to Adare on Saturday April 18 at 7.00pm.

The next three points were scored by Camogue Rovers, but Patrickswell dominated the remainder of the half to lead by 2-5 to 0-6 (David Woulfe 0-2 and Paul O’Brien 0-2).

The second half started with Patrickswell growing our lead to seven points at 2-8 to 0-7 thanks to Briain Og O’Sullivan 0-2 and Paul O’Brien. Camogue Rovers battled back to score four unanswered points, but Patrickswell triumphed by 2-8 to 0-11.

CAMOGIE: Patrickswell’s Feile team performed superbly in Croagh despite the poor weather conditions. In the group stages, we defeated Adare, Templeglantine/Tournafulla and Blackrock Effin – while losing to Kildimo-Pallaskenry. Our second place finish was rewarded with a semi-final against Croagh Kilfinny. After a long day of camogie, the hosts edged out Patrickswell. Hard luck girls and management.

SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior hurlers opened their league campaign with a fine victory against Kilmallock. The Balbec scored the opening point of the fixture, but Patrickswell roared 1-7 to 0-2 ahead after a purple patch where Jason Gillane notched a goal & three points and there were further points for John Kirby, Evan Fitzgerald, Patrick Kirby and Cian Fitzgerald.

The ‘Well seemed uncatchable at 1-19 to 1-10. However, the next four points were claimed by Kilmallock. The lead was trimmed to five points when Patrickswell increased their tempo. Patrick Kirby, Jason Gillane and Dayle McDonagh added points which allowed Patrickswell to lead by 1-22 to 1-18 in the final minute.
