SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered late heartbreak in our critical Championship encounter with Adare. Our neighbours scored a goal in the first minute and followed up with a point. The rate of scoring was very low in the first half, but Patrickswell settled with consecutive points from Cian Fitzgerald and Evan Fitzgerald. The next ten minutes were shaded by Adare as they established a 1-4 to 0-4 lead (Diarmaid Byrnes and Jason Gillane). However, Patrickswell dominated the latter stages of the first half as we accrued a penalty goal from Diarmaid Byrnes and points from Diarmaid Byrnes, Aaron Gillane, Jason Gillane and Evan Fitzgerald. The interval scoreline was 1-8 to 1-4 to Patrickswell.

The early stages of the second half were narrowly edged by Adare. Their four points outpaced Patrickswell’s three points (Aaron Gillane 0-2 and Patrick Kirby). Four unanswered points from Adare gave them a narrow 1-12 to 1-11 lead. The pendulum swung back and forth as Patrickswell found ourselves 1-17 to 1-16 ahead with minutes remaining (Aaron Gillane 0-2 and Jason Gillane 0-4). Rory Foley’s late point was invaluable, but Adare had a few minutes left to recover. A long-range shot evaded the Patrickswell defence and rippled the net. Adare were 2-16 to 1-18 ahead, with mere seconds left. A late Patrickswell free was inches wide and our neighbours won out.

JUNIOR C HURLERS: The Junior C hurlers had a mixed week. Following a 1-23 to 3-7 defeat to Crecora, Patrickswell responded with a dramatic 9-9 to 7-12 victory at Dromcollogher-Broadford.

Patrickswell dominated the last phase of the first half and equalised by half-time at 1-9 apiece (Ryan Foley 0-3, Callum Butler 0-3 and Rory Foley).

Patrickswell increased its tempo throughout the second half and amassed twelve points to Garryspillane’s five points (Ryan Foley 0-6, Rory Foley 0-5 and Callum Butler). With a seven-point lead of 1-21 to 1-14, we looked strong. However, the Bouncers notched a goal and a point to slash their arrears to three points. Rory Foley and Ryan Foley settled some nerves with a point each, while Ryan Foley’s late goal put the result beyond doubt. Patrickswell lifted the shield with a 2-23 to 2-16 victory.

Patrickswell tightened its grip on the match with four consecutive points, thanks to Aaron Gillane 0-2, Diarmaid Byrnes and Patrick Kirby. The next phase was closer as we shaded our opponents to open a 0-12 to 0-6 lead (Aaron Gillane, Andrew Carroll, Patrick Kirby and John Kirby). Patrickswell surged ahead with two close-range Jason Gillane goals to open a significant twelve-point lead, but the Bouncers replied with a goal and three points without reply. The half-time score was 2-12 to 1-9.

Diarmaid Byrnes and Andrew Carroll increased the lead to seven points at the beginning of the second half, before Garryspillane struck their second goal. Our response was immediate as Patrick Kirby hit the net almost immediately afterwards. Over the next five minutes, our opponents trimmed the deficit to 3-17 to 2-14 (Evan Fitzgerald, Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane). The clinching moment was Jason Gillane’s hat trick goal.

South Liberties’ opening goal was answered by points from Thomas Lynch and Rory Foley. The Ballyneety men were 1-4 to 0-5 ahead and they increased the margin to 1-7 to 0-6 (Rory Foley).

There was a further exchange of two points each (Ryan Foley and Callum Butler) to ensure a minimum half-time score of 2-8 to 1-10.

However, Patrickswell finished very strongly and four straight points ensured a 4-15 to 2-18 win.

JUNIOR C FOOTBALLERS: The footballers kept their 100% record with a fine victory over Killeedy.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered late defeat in their second Championship match against Mungret. The Reds scored the first three points of the match before Patrick Kirby registered our first point. Mungret’s opening goal established a five-point lead, but Patrickswell edged the next ten minutes. A trio of points from Jason Gillane and a John Kirby point trimmed the deficit to 1-6 to 0-5. Three consecutive points from Jason Gillane 0-2 and Diarmaid Byrnes ensured minimal arrears, but Mungret nabbed two points to lead by 1-8 to 0-8. Our opponents enjoyed the latter stages of the first half, when their five points eclipsed three Patrickswell points (Jason Gillane 0-2 and Cian Lynch). The interval score was 1-13 to 0-11 in Mungret’s favour.

Patrickswell had an excellent start to the second half and blitzed Mungret with six straight points (Jason Gillane 0-2, John Kirby 0-2, Aaron Gillane and Liam Fitzgerald). We were now ahead for the first time, but Mungret retorted with three points on the trot. With ten minutes left, we trailed by 1-16 to 0-17. Three more points from Jason Gillane and another from Hugh Maher closed the gap at 1-19 to 0-21.

Patrickswell led by 0-5 to 0-1 within fifteen minutes (Kieran Long, Peter Harty 0-2, Dayle McDonagh and Paddy Gardiner). Despite two points from Rory Foley, Staker Wallace crept into the contest and Patrickswell led by only 0-7 to 0-6 at half-time.

Staker Wallace equalised with a point at the start of the second half, but they were stunned when Dayle McDonagh scored two goals in a minute, followed by a Darragh Ahern point. Our opponents replied with a point, but Dayle McDonagh completed his hat trick with a penalty and Peter Harty added a point. Patrickswell were ten points ahead at 3-9 to 0-8. Our reduction to 14 men was a pivotal moment in the match. Staker Wallace scored a goal and three points to Peter Harty’s brace and slashed the margin to 3-11 to 1-11. As Patrickswell hung on, our opponents surged forward and secured a crushing second goal and three consecutive points to equalise. On the cusp of injury time, the scores were level at 3-11 to 2-14. Neither side managed to break the deadlock and a draw was earned.

JUNIOR C HURLERS: Patrickswell lost away to a strong St. Kieran’s side on a gloomy night. Our hosts raced into a 2-3 to 0-1 lead, before we responded with a penalty goal and two points. By half-time, Patrickswell trailed by 2-4 to 1-4.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell made a winning start to the Championship after a hard fought win over Newcastle West. We raced into a 0-6 to 0-1 lead within ten minutes, aided by a strong breeze (Patrick Kirby, Diarmaid Byrnes, Jason Gillane 0-2 and Cian Lynch 0-2). The remainder of the first half was more competitive. After an exchange of four points each (John Kirby, Jason Gillane 0-2 and Patrick Kirby), Patrickswell enjoyed a purple patch that yielded four unanswered points (Jason Gillane 0-2, Cian Lynch and Diarmaid Byrnes). Just before half-time, Patrickswell were 0-14 to 0-5 ahead. Newcastle West secured two points before Jason Gillane ensured an interval score of 0-15 to 0-7.

Playing against a stiff wind, Patrickswell were reeled in by Newcastle West. In twenty minutes, John Kirby was the solitary response to eight points from our opponents. In the 50th minute, Patrickswell led narrowly by 0-16 and 0-15. The slump required an answer and it was delivered by Jason Gillane’s close range goal and points from John Kirby and Jason Gillane. Prospects were brighter at 1-18 to 0-15 with five minutes left. We closed out the match with points from Jason Gillane, Aaron Gillane and Hugh Maher to record an invaluable 1-21 to 0-21 win. The next match is on Saturday August 8 against Mungret at 5.00pm in Claughaun.

JUNIOR B HURLERS: The Junior B Championship began with late disappointment against Doon. Patrickswell led by 0-3 to 0-1 within five minutes (Peter Harty 0-2 and Conor Robinson), but we were pinned back by a Doon goal and point. Dayle McDonagh and Peter Harty accrued points, but Doon kept ahead by 1-6 to 0-5. Patrickswell levelled the match on 25 minutes after a spell of four unanswered points from Peter Harty, Darragh Ahern and Paudie Maher 0-2. Tom O’Brien hit the net and added a point to establish a 1-10 to 1-7 lead. However, Doon were ahead by 2-8 to 1-10 at half-time when they scored a goal and point.

The start of the second half was extremely low scoring. With about fifteen minutes left, Patrickswell led by 1-14 to 2-9 (Paudie Maher 0-2, Peter Harty and Darragh Ahern). Patrickswell were in the ascendancy when Tom O’Brien claimed his second goal to build a five-point lead. More points from Peter Harty and Darragh Ahern kept Doon at arm’s length at 2-16 to 2-12. Unfortunately, the East Men rampaged in the final phase – adding three goals and a point to Peter Harty’s lone reply. The result was a 5-13 to 2-17 reverse.
