FAREWELL TO THE PITCH: The Final Poc event was held in glorious weather at Pairc Antóin Ó’Briain. There were matches from Under 4s to Masters level, with a barbecue, Irish Dancing, kiddie games and treats. This memorable day ended with Tony O’Brien’s son, Tony, striking the final poc before redevelopment begins. Thanks to everyone who made the event possible and those who supported it.

SENIOR INTER-COUNTY HURLERS: Best wishes to Cian, Aaron and Diarmaid in the All-Ireland Hurling Championship final.

MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell were eliminated from the Championship after suffering defeat at Bruff. The match started badly as Bruff scored two goals and a point within three minutes. Ryan Foley struck two frees in quick succession, but we conceded a third goal and two more points. After ten minutes, the scoreline was 3-3 to 0-2. Ryan Foley hit the net and sparked a revival which trimmed the half-time score as 3-5 to 1-5 (Ryan Foley 0-2 and Thomas Lynch).

The second half began with three unanswered Bruff points before Ryan Foley scored a point. The host’s fourth goal put Patrickswell eleven points adrift at 4-8 to 1-6. There was a mini revival when the ‘Well plundered five points in a row (Rory Foley 0-3, Ryan Foley and Harry Lynch). However, Bruff slammed the door with a flurry of three points. Jay O’Neill put over the last point of the match as Patrickswell lost by 4-11 to 1-12.

GAELIC FOOTBALL: The Junior C footballers made a great start to the Championship away to Camogue Rovers. Paddy Gardiner and Eoin Harmon scored early goals that were supplemented by three points from Jason Gillane 0-2 and Francis McAuliffe. The home team managed to get on the scoreboard, but Francis McAuliffe notched our third goal and there were five additional points from Jason Gillane, Briain Og O’Sullivan, David Woulfe and Paddy Gardiner 0-2. The interval score was 3-8 to 1-2.

The second half began with another spell of one-way Patrickswell traffic. We claimed another goal from Paul O’Brien, with more points from Jason Gillane 0-2, Eoin Harmon, Francis McAuliffe, David Woulfe, Briain Og O’Sullivan and Paul O’Brien. Leading 4-15 to 1-2, Camogue had a brief purple patch of a goal and two points. However Jason Gillane and David Woulfe sealed a 4-17 to 2-4 win.

MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell made a disappointing start to the championship after a heavy defeat at Hospital Herbertstown. The hosts notched the first two points before Ryan Foley knocked over a free. We fell further behind at 0-4 to 0-1, but fresh points from Ryan Foley and Thomas Lynch closed the gap at 0-4 to 0-3. Hospital Herbertstown scored another goal and point to increase their lead to 1-5 to 0-3. There was a positive response from the ‘Well as Thomas Lynch hit the net and Ryan Foley added a free. On the 25 minute mark, we trailed by a mere 1-5 to 1-4. While Ryan Foley celebrated Patrickswell’s second goal, we conceded four points. Unfortunately, Patrickswell suffered a red card that ultimately changed the match. At half-time, Hospital Herbertstown led by 1-9 to 2-4.

The second half was a gruelling experience. The hosts hit a goal and four points before Callum Butler responded with a free. Behind by eight points at 2-13 to 2-5, we were ravaged by three more goals and five points in a 15-minute spell. The scoreline was 5-18 to 2-5 with five minutes left. Callum Butler and Ryan Foley both scored frees, but Hospital Herbertstown cancelled these scores out. Callum Butler’s late point was outdone by the home team’s sixth goal.

INTER-COUNTY HURLERS: Congratulations to Cian Lynch, Diarmaid Byrnes and Aaron Gillane for driving Limerick to another Munster Championship title.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell’s interest in the County League ended with defeat against Na Piarsaigh away. We started positively as Jason Gillane and Patrick Kirby scored from play to create a minor deficit of 0-3 to 0-2. The next five minutes were torrid as our hosts scored two goals and four points in contrast to Jason Gillane’s free. Patrickswell trailed by 2-7 to 0-3 in the 15th minute. The remainder of the first half was edged by Patrickswell. Jason Gillane notched five points and Patrick Kirby & Kevin O’Brien added one point apiece. The interval scoreline was 2-12 to 0-10.

The opening stages of the second half witnessed a third Na Piarsaigh goal as they surged twelve points ahead at 3-15 to 0-12 (Jason Gillane and Andrew Carroll). Patrickswell forced its way back into the fixture with a profitable spell that yielded six points from Hugh Maher 0-3, Jason Gillane 0-2 and John Kirby. We now trailed by seven points at 3-16 to 0-18. A minor fightback brought the gap down to five points as Jason Gillane 0-3, Eoin Harmon 0-2 and Kevin O’Brien made the scoreline 3-20 to 0-24. Alas, Na Piarsaigh stole a fourth goal on the stroke of full-time.

JUNIOR HURLERS: The Junior hurlers exited the County League following defeat at Ballybrown. The match was keenly contested as both teams scored a goal and four points in the first quarter on a hot evening. Patrickswell’s goal came from Paudie Maher and our points were scored by Kieran Long, Andrew Carroll, Paudie Maher and John Long. Ballybrown shaded the remainder of the first half and were 1-9 to 1-8 ahead at the break (Liam Fitzgerald 0-2, Jonathan McMahon and Josh Carey).

Patrickswell were energetic at the start of the second half and established a 1-12 to 1-10 lead quickly (Andrew Carroll 0-2, Liam Fitzgerald and Conor Robinson). Unfortunately Ballybrown plundered two goals in quick succession and raced 3-12 to 1-15 ahead (Liam Fitzgerald, Rory Foley and Andrew Carroll). Into the final five minutes, Patrickswell were still three points behind at 3-14 to 1-17 (Rory Foley and Liam Fitzgerald). The game faded out of reach when Ballybrown nabbed their fourth goal. However, Liam Fitzgerald’s trio of points set up a grandstand finale at 4-14 to 1-20. The goal did not materialise and Ballybrown secured a late insurance point. Patrickswell awarded a walkover to Bruff as our chances of a League Final were dashed.

JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS: Patrickswell gave a great account of themselves in the League Final against a strong Glin side. Paddy Gardiner and Briain Og O’Sullivan cancelled out Glin points, before the West Men grabbed a goal. The same combination of Briain Og O’Sullivan and Paddy Gardiner matched Glin’s next two points. Trailing 1-4 to 0-4, David Woulfe acted quickly and hit the net for Patrickswell. Jack McNamara’s points was sandwiched between two Glin points. The half-time score was a narrow disadvantage of 1-6 to 1-5.

Glin dominated the start of the second half and hit four points without reply. Paul O’Brien and David Woulfe trimmed the deficit to 1-11 to 1-7 and Patrickswell had a chance. Alas, Glin sealed their victory with a late second goal.

CLUB LOTTO: The Club Lotto draw on Monday May 25 was not won. The numbers drawn were 10, 28, 29 and 31. The bonus number was 7.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell survived a stiff test from Ahane in the County League. The teams were inseparable after twenty minutes as six points apiece were exchanged (John Murray 0-2, Jason Gillane 0-3 and Kevin O’Brien). Ahane scored the first goal of the fixture, but Jason Gillane cancelled this out with a conbined 65′, free and a point from play. The first half ended level at 0-10 to 1-7 as a result of another Jason Gillane free.

Patrickswell were clinical at the start of the second half as they notched seven unanswered points from John Kirby 0-2, Jason Gillane 0-4 and John Murray. Ahane halted their decline and edged back into the match with five points to Jason Gillane’s free. There were five minutes left an Patrickswell were just 0-18 to 1-12 ahead. The game was secured by a late Dayle McDonagh goal, which allowed Patrickswell to win by 1-18 to 1-14. The final group match is away to Na Piarsaigh on Thursday May 28 at 7.30pm.

JUNIOR HURLERS: The Junior hurlers eased past Rathkeale to keep themselves in contention near the top of the league table. Patrickswell were ahead by a goal from Rory Foley and two points from Liam Fitzgerald within five minutes. Rathkeale replied with two points, but Patrickswell notched three straight points from Liam Fitzgerald, Conor Robinson and Rory Foley. The scoreline in the middle of the first half was 1-5 to 0-2. The teams traded five points each (Liam Fitzgerald 0-4 and Gavin Carey) as we reached the interval 1-10 to 0-7 ahead.

Rathkeale enjoyed a slight advantage at the start of the second half and trimmed the deficit to four points at 1-13 to 1-9 (Peter Harty 0-2 and Liam Fitzgerald). However, Patrickswell roared on with a goal from Andrew Carroll and five points (Peter Harty 0-2, Dayle McDonagh 0-2 and Liam Fitzgerald). The result was a 2-18 to 1-9 win. There are two fixtures scheduled for this week – away to Ballybrown on Monday May 25 at 7.30pm and away to Bruff on Sunday May 31 at 7.30pm.

INTER-COUNTY HURLERS: Congratulations to Limerick and its Patrickswell contingent for defeating Tipperary in the Munster Hurling Championship and reaching another Munster Final.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered late disappointment at Doon in the County League. The opening ten minutes were finely balanced as Jason Gillane’s three frees were matched by the hosts. Doon crept ahead with three unanswered points, before both sides exchanged two points each (Jason Gillane and John Murray). With five minutes until half-time, Doon led by 0-8 to 0-5. The East Men then struck a goal prior to Jason Gillane hauling back a point. At the interval, Patrickswell trailed by 1-8 to 0-6.

Doon scored the first point of the second half before a resurgent Patrickswell turned the game around. Points from Jason Gillane and John Murray were followed by a rasping Jason Gillane shot into the crowded net. Afterwards, Jason Gillane and Mark Carmody added fresh points to give Patrickswell a 1-10 to 1-9 lead. Doon were able to push ahead after a period where they outscored the ‘Well by four points to two Jason Gillane frees. With ten minutes left, we trailed by 1-13 to 1-12. Dayle McDonagh’s goal pushed Patrickswell into a late lead, but Doon equalised at 2-12 to 1-15. The game was in the balance with minutes remaining. Unfortunately for Patrickswell, Doon produced a late goal to wrap up a 2-15 to 2-12 win. Our next match is on Friday May 22 in Ahane at 7.30pm.

JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS: The footballers secured a last gasp victory over hosts Killeedy in the County League. It took twenty minutes for Killeedy to register the first point of the match, with a cool wind affecting the scoring opportunities. Patrickswell bounced back with three straight points from John Murray, Jonathan McMahon and Jack McNamara. The home team nabbed the final point of the first half to leave Patrickswell 0-3 to 0-2 ahead.

The second half began perfectly for the ‘Well as points from David Woulfe, Jack McNamara and Paddy McGrath were embellished by a goal from Peter Harty. We were 1-6 to 0-2 ahead on 40 minutes. However, Killeedy were in the ascendancy and outscored Patrickswell by seven points to one point across the next fifteen minutes (John Murray). Our lead was the bare minimum of 1-7 to 0-9. Jason Gillane scored a point, but Killeedy rallied with three unanswered points. We had fallen behind by 0-12 to 1-8 with a minute left. Patrickswell won a late free from distance and Jason Gillane took responsibility for dispatching a fine two-pointer. Patrickswell triumphed by 1-10 to 0-12. The result ensures a League Final.
