CAMOGIE: Patrickswell reached the Munster Junior Camogie Championship Final after securing a hard-fought victory over Cillard of Kerry. The first ten minutes were played at a ferocious pace as Patrickswell outpointed Cillard by 0-5 to 0-3 (Sarah Fitzgerald, Roisin O’Brien 0-2, Teresa Dore and Leah O’Carroll). Over the next twenty minutes, the ‘Well held Cillard scoreless while notching six points ourselves (Sarah Fitzgerald, Rachel O’Grady 0-2, Leah O’Carroll 0-2 and Teresa Dore). The prospects were looking rosy, until Cillard scored a goal and a point just before the interval. The Patrickswell advantage was trimmed to 0-11 to 1-4.

The second half was extremely low scoring. Patrickswell were in the box seat by the 57th minute after Leah O’Carroll, Roisin O’Brien and Rachel O’Grady cemented a six-point margin of 0-14 to 1-5. There were jitters when Cillard scored their second goal to slash the arrears to three points. Patrickswell managed to hold its nerve and Roisin O’Brien’s late point ensured a four point victory of 0-15 to 2-5. The Munster Final will be against Clooney-Quin of Clare.

JUNIOR C FOOTBALLERS: The Junior C footballers were edged out by Athea in the Championship semi-final. Patrickswell dominated the first fifteen minutes with the breeze at our backs and we were rewarded with points from Peter Harty, David Woulfe and Briain Og O’Sullivan. Athea hit back with two points, but Peter Harty struck a fisted goal on the 20 minute mark. David Woulfe and Jack McNamara’s points were then cancelled out by Athea. The half-time score was 1-5 to 0-4 in our favour.

The second half was difficult for Patrickswell against the breeze. Athea notched three straight points before Jason Gillane and Peter Harty restored a 1-7 to 0-8 lead by the 50th minute. Patrickswell were undone by an Athea goal that put our opponents ahead for the first time. With ten minutes remaining, we sought an equalising point that never came. In the 60th minute, Athea scored another point to build a 1-9 to 1-7 lead. Paul O’Brien’s late late free kick was heading for the top corner before Athea’s massed defence cleared the danger. Hard luck to the players and management. It was an excellent return to gaelic football for the club.

Kilmallock delivered a crushing response with a goal and six points without reply in a six minute salvo. In the 45th minute, Patrickswell trailed by 2-17 to 1-12. This prompted a revival from the ‘Well, who trimmed the deficit to five points as a result of Hugh Maher’s goal and fresh points from Rory Foley and Dayle McDonagh.

CAMOGIE: Patrickswell’s Intermediate Camogie team produced a masterful performance to win the Championship final against Templeglantine. Sarah Fitzgerald scored a goal within thirty seconds, but Templeglantine levelled with three consecutive points. Another Sarah Fitzgerald point had Patrickswell level at 1-1 to 0-4 after fifteen minutes. The key phase of the match was a devastating seven-minute spell from Patrickswell that yielded a goal and five points without reply (Sophie Carey 1-0, Roisin O’Brien 0-3, Ciara Barry and Sarah Fitzgerald). Patrickswell were now 2-6 to 0-4 ahead. Before half-time, three more points were added by Rachel O’Grady and Roisin O’Brien 0-2 to secure a nine-point interval lead of 2-9 to 0-6.

The second half was a perfect case of keeping Templeglantine at arm’s length. By the 45th minute mark, Patrickswell were still seven points ahead at 2-13 to 0-12 (Sarah Fitzgerald and Ciara Barry 0-3). The nerves were eliminated when three points from Sarah Fitzgerald, Roisin O’Brien and Ciara Barry gave the ‘Well an unassailable nine-point lead of 2-16 to 0-13 on 56 minutes. The icing on the cake was captain Sarah Carey’s point to ensure a 2-17 to 0-13 victory.

UNDER 20 HURLERS: Patrickswell started their opening match of the season against Ballybrown at a whirlwind pace. In the 15th minute, the ‘Well were 0-8 to 0-0 ahead thanks to Liam Fitzgerald 0-3, Hugh Maher 0-3, Dayle McDonagh and Rory Foley. Unfortunately that was our high water mark as Ballybrown dominated the rest of the first half to equalise at 0-10 apiece (Liam Fitzgerald 0-2).

By the 45th minute, Ballybrown led by 0-16 to 0-12 (Liam Fitzgerald 0-2). The game swung decidedly in their favour with a goal.

Dean Cawley and Jack Gorman stopped the rot, but we trailed by 2-8 to 0-4 at the break.

The first fifteen minutes of the second half remained difficult as Ballybrown stretched their lead to 4-11 to 0-6 (Briain Og O’Sullivan and Tadhg Hannon). A fightback from Patrickswell produced goals from Jason Murphy, Briain Og O’Sullivan and points from Garry Murphy, Gearoid Balfry and Jake Carey. The final result was a 4-14 to 2-9 defeat.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: There was bitter disappointment as Patrickswell were relegated by a very late Bruff goal in the playoff at Ballyagran. Favoured by a stiff breeze, the ‘Well built a 0-5 to 0-3 lead after fifteen minutes, thanks to Peter Harty, Sean Fitzgerald, Paudie Maher, Andrew Carroll and Billy Earls. We also edged the remainder of the first half to hold a 0-9 to 0-6 interval lead (Dayle McDonagh, Andrew Carroll and Paddy Gardiner).

In the second half, Patrickswell kept Bruff at arm’s length with six points apiece in 25 minutes (Andrew Carroll 0-4, Paudie Maher and Ross Bennis). With 55 minutes on the clock, we remained 0-15 to 0-12 ahead. Two consecutive points from Bruff set up the grand finale at 0-15 to 0-14. Tensions were high as Patrickswell defended resolutely and Bruff pressed hard. With virtually the last possession of the match, a Bruff forward eluded our defence and closed on goal. The option of notching an equalising point was foregone as he drove home the decisive goal. There were just thirty seconds after the restart and Bruff snatched a 1-14 to 0-15 win.

The Caherdavin men edged the remainder of the first half as their five points exceeded Patrickswell’s trio from Liam Fitzgerald, Hugh Maher and Diarmaid Byrnes. The half-time score was 2-13 to 2-6.

Na Piarsaigh started the second half with gusto. Their six points eclipsed Diarmaid Byrnes’ score. After 45 minutes, Patrickswell trailed by 2-19 to 2-7. The rest of the game was delicately poised with both teams scoring seven points apiece (Diarmaid Byrnes 0-6 and Mark Carmody). The result was a 2-26 to 2-14 defeat.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers lost to Claughaun in the Championship. Paudie Maher’s point was overshadowed by one goal and four points from our opponents in the opening ten minutes.

Unfortunately Claughaun notched another goal and three points to reach the interval at 2-10 to 0-8.

Most of the second half was very low scoring, with Billy Earls and Peter Harty responding to five Claughaun points. There was only ten minutes left and Claughaun led by 2-15 to 0-10. The Childers Road side added four points while Peter Harty scored for Patrickswell. The final score was 2-19 to 0-11.

JUNIOR C HURLERS: Patrickswell’s depleted line-up were unable to halt our hosts Na Piarsaigh. In the first half, Des Foley’s brace was the only answer to Na Piarsaigh’s eight points.
